        abstract = {This research deals with a comparative study of reading comprehension
achievement between pre-questioning and without pre-questioning at the second
grader of SMPN 1 Kotabumi. The purpose of pre-questioning activities is to
motivate the students to read the text and prepare them to be able to read it.
The research was conducted to the second grader of SMPN 1 Kotabumi. The
writer took two classes as the samples based on cluster sampling. The design of
the research was quantitative research, that is a systematic scientific investigation
involving analysis of data collection in the form of numbers and statistics using
control group pre-test post-test design. The data was gained by administering a set
of pre-test and post-test to both classes. The data was analyzed by using Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15.0. The hypotheses were tested by
using Independent Group T-test.
The test result showed that the mean of post-test in experimental class 1 was 68.63
and the mean of post-test in experimental class 2 was 64.71. Probability level (p)was 0.021. It was lower than 0.05. Here, H
is accepted if significant value
exceeds level of significance at 0.05, meanwhile, H
0
is rejected if significant value
does not exceed level of significance at 0.05. Because the null hypothesis (H
0
)was proved p {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05, it meant that H
0
was rejected and H
was accepted. In other
words, there is a significant difference between pre-questioning and without prequestioning

on the reading comprehension achievement. Besides that, prequestioning
activities
was more effective strategy than without pre-questioning. It
was proved by the number of students who got scores higher than KKM. There
was 65.71\% of the whole students in experimental class 1and 48.57\% students in
experimental class 2 who exceed the KKM. Moreover, the result of students? post-
1
0
test score in experimental class 1 was higher than the students? score in
experimantal class 2.}
