%X 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 < 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.
