In the posttest data, the average experimental class is 15.22, and the control class is 13.5, seen from the results of the pretest and posttest data, the experimental class has a higher increase in comprehension reading ability. To be clearer whether there is a difference in the ability of elementary school students, it was first tested by calculating the t-test statistic on pretest data  = 0.13 ≤   = 2.00 it can be concluded that there is no significant difference. Posttest data in the t-test is obtained  = 1.79 ≤  = 2.00 it can be concluded that there is no significant difference.
