This research employed a quantitative method. The study was conducted with first-grade students at SMPN 14 Bandar Lampung. Two classes were used: the experimental class, consisting of 31 students, used KWL integrated with Think-Pair-Share strategy, while the control class, also consisting of 31 students, used the original KWL strategy.
The results showed that (1) the mean score in the experimental class increased from 57.677 in the pre-test to 79.355 in the post-test, indicating a significant improvement., this improvement also supported by statistical result with a Sig. (2-tailed) value less than 0.001. (2) The post-test results revealed that the integrated strategy was better than the original one. The experimental class had a mean score of 79.35, while the control class scored 70.32. The t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.003 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. (3) Vocabulary showed the highest improvement. In the experimental class, vocabulary scores increased by 82 points (from 104 to 186), a 37.78% gain, while the control class improved by only 17 points (from 108 to 125), a 7.83% gain. These findings show that integrating the KWL strategy with Think Pair Share improved students' reading comprehension, especially vocabulary.
