Abstract

Reading teaching in Medan Medan Student Park is still based on teaching with the lecture method. Therefore, the consequence is that there are many students who cannot understand English text. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether students taught using REDW (reading, checking, deciding and writing) strategies have a higher value than students who are taught using the lecture method in reading comprehension. In the implementation of this study, divided into two groups (the experimental group and the control group) in class XI in Medan Student Park participated in this study. Each group is treated differently; The experimental class is taught using REDW (reading, checking, deciding and writing) strategies and control classes taught by the lecture method. This research was conducted during four meetings. Research data was collected through pretest

and post-test in the experimental class and control class. This instrument consists of several reading test options. Question items based on reading comprehension indicators. The post-test results show clear differences from the results of student reading comprehension. the post-test results in the capable control group is 30% (9 students), the post-test results in the capable experimental group are 100% (30 students) can be concluded that using REDW strategy can improve students' determination in reading comprehension. This is a suggestion for teachers to use REDW in teaching reading. English teachers must use REDW strategies in teaching reading, because using this strategy they can enjoy understanding more easily
