        abstract = {This study investigates the impact of integrating the REAP strategy on the reading
comprehension of first grade students at SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung. Using a
quantitative approach, the study employed a one-group pre-test and post-test design. In
particular, the research concentrated on X3 as a trial class and X2 as an experimental
class. A pre-test and post-test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions assessed the
students' reading comprehension skills, with an average score of 60.6\% in pre-test. The
students then took part in two treatment sessions using the REAP strategy to practise
reading comprehension through folk tales, fables and legends. In the pre-test, showed
a significant increase in the mean score to 76.2\%, resulting in an overall gain of 15.6\%.
It was proven by the result of paired sample t-test, which showed that the value of two
tails significance was (0.00) smaller than alpha (0.00{\ensuremath{<}}0.05), T-value which is 13.173
{\ensuremath{>}} T-table 2.045 and it means that null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis
is accepted, indicating a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension
after being taught with the REAP strategy. Inference was the most improved aspect,
with a pre-test average of 137 rising to 187 in the post-test, an increase of 50 points or
21.85\%. These results confirm the positive impact of the REAP strategy on improving
students' reading comprehension and underline its potential to engage students and
improve their learning outcomes.
