The results showed that there were 15 students who used cognitive strategy, while there were 9 students who used metacognitive strategy and social strategy were 6 students. Then, the result of One-Way ANOVA showed that F for cognitive strategy was 37.18 with p= .000, F for metacognitive strategy was 15.75 with p= .000, and F for social strategy was 5.97 with p= .001. The results mean that H1 was accepted, so that the cognitive, metacognitive, and social strategies were statistically significant to reading comprehension.
