The research applied pretest  posttest control group design. This experimental method deals with two groups:  an experimental class and a control class. The samples of the research were the  second grade of SMPN 5 Metro.     The results show that the mean of students’ posttest scores in the experimental  class is higher than the mean of students’ posttest scores in the control class, that   is 83.20 is higher than 70.83, with the mean difference is 12.37. The value of two  tail significant is 0.000. it means that H  0   was rejected and H  was accepted since  0.000 < 0.05.  The conclusion of this research is that there is a significant  difference of students’ reading comprehension achievement between the students  taught through Reciprocal Teaching Technique and Contextual Teaching and  Learning.
