better than the students taught by and Reading Encode Annotate and Ponder
R st at gy, th is an ff t th stud nts’ a hi v m nt in ading
comprehension with high interest is better than low interest, there is a significant
interaction between teaching strategi s and int st on th stud nts’ a hi v m nt
in reading comprehension, and th is an int a tion of th stud nts’
achievement in reading comprehension taught by LRD and REAP strategy with

The data were analyzed by applying Two-Way ANOVA, comparing FObserved
and FTable at th l v l of signifi an α = 0 05, th sult v als that 1
stud nts’ a hi v m nt in ading omp hension that taught by using Listen
Read Discuss strategy ( ̅ = 80.47 ) is higher than those that taught by using
Reading Encode Annotate Ponder strategy ( ̅ = 73.75 ) with F observed =
82.20> F Table = 3.98, it means that Listen Read Discuss strategy affects
reading comprehension better than Reading Encode Annotate Ponder strategy
(2) students achievement in reading comprehension with high interest ( ̅ =
83.61 ) is higher than those with low interest ( ̅ = 79.53) with F Observed = 41.26
> F Table 3.98, it means high interest affect reading comprehension better than

based on FObserved =14.81 >F Table = 3.98, it can be concluded that students with
