%X The objectives of this research were to find out the improvement of the students’  reading achievement after the students were taught by using WH-Question in  teaching reading narrative text and to investigate which aspect of reading  improves the most after the implementation of the WH-Question technique. The  research was conducted at SMP Tri Sukses Natar. Class VIII B consisting of 28  students was chosen as the sample of this research. Pre-test and post-test designs  were used in this research. The narrative text was used as the instrument in pretest  and  post-test.  The  data  were  taken  from  the  tests,  and  then  they  were  analyzed    by  using  Paired  Sample  T-test.      The results show that the mean score of the pre-test was 61.4 and the post-test was  72.3. It means that the students’ mean score was improved 10.9. Moreover, the  result of the t-value (10.111) was higher than the t-table (2.0518) and the value of  two-tailed significance was 0.000 < 0.05. It indicates that the H0 is rejected; that  means, H1 is accepted so that there is a statistically significant increase in  students’ reading comprehension from pre-test to post-test scores after the  implementation of the WH-Question technique in teaching reading narrative text.  In addition, all aspects of reading improved, but the content aspect was improved  the most. Based on the result, it can be concluded that teaching reading narrative  text through WH-Question is effective in improving students’ reading  comprehension and all aspects of reading.
