Reading comprehension is an activity carried out by an individual to be able to get the core of the message expressed by the author in understanding the meaning through a text or word media. Reading comprehension skills are an important component to help learners master various concepts so that they can find and understand a lot of information.

The RADEC (Read-Answer-Discuss-Explain and Create) learning model is a model that uses stages in learning according to the name of the model, namely reading, answering, discussing, explaining and creating. This study aims to find a solution to reading comprehension problems using the RADEC model. This research uses a quantitative method of experimental type using a pre-experimental design using the One-Group Pretest Post-test Design model with a sample size of 30 students. Data analysis techniques using normality test, descriptive analysis, Wilcoxon test, and making conclusions. The normality test results are not normally distributed because the Sig value
