“…The research finding showed that both reading strategies and reading frequencies have significant contribution toward reading comprehension skill whereby 33.2% of variation can be explained by these two variables. This is consistent with a study by Zsigmond (2015) which shows the applicability in using reading and writing strategies to improve students reading comprehension. In addition, the use of reading strategies affects the better reading understanding (Kasimi, 2010) which implies that the strategies used in reading will affect the readers' understanding about the text (Ditzel, 2010;Mytcowicz, et al 2014;Ahmadi et al, 2013).…”

This study was conducted because of the low level of students’ reading skill. The reading strategies and the reading frequencies were assumed as the factors affecting students’ reading skill. The aim of this study was to describe and to analyze the contribution of reading strategies and reading frequencies toward students’ reading comprehension skill. This study used the quantitative method with the descriptive correlational design. The population was 3000 students who attended Bahasa Indonesia subject in Universitas Negeri Padang, and 353 students were taken as samples by using proportional stratified random sampling. The instruments of this study were reading strategies scale, reading frequencies scale and a reading comprehension test which has been valid and reliable. Based on research findings and discussion, the following can be concluded: (1) reading strategies contributed significance and positively to the students' comprehension reading skill which is 19.6% (R = 0.443 R2 = 0.196 and p = 0.000), i.e. reading strategies contributed directly toward the skills of reading comprehension. Therefore, the higher the reading strategies, the better the reading comprehension skills of the students; (2) reading strategies contributed significance toward the students' reading comprehension skills of 33.1% (R = 0.575 R2 = 0.331 and p = 0.000), i.e. reading frequencies contributed directly to reading comprehension skills. Therefore, the better the reading frequencies, the better the reading comprehension skills of the students; (3) reading strategies and the reading frequencies together contributed significance toward the students' reading comprehension skills of 33.2% (R = 0.575, R2 = 0.332 and p = 0.000), i.e. reading strategies and reading frequencies together contributed directly to the comprehension reading skill. Therefore, the higher the reading strategies and reading frequencies will be the better the reading comprehension skill of the students.

This study investigates the effect of applying the talk-to-the-text strategy on students’ reading comprehension of narrative text. By employing quasi-experimental research design, specifically pre- and post-tests design one, talk-to-the-text reading strategy was implemented as treatment in experimental class and another control class was taught by utilizing conventional strategy. The study was conducted in the eighth grade students of Junior Secondary School in one of school in Bintan, Indonesia. Cluster random sampling was employed in order to determine the samples. In gaining the data, the instrument used was reading comprehension test. Based on data analysis by using t-test, the result revealed that talk-to-the-text strategy give better effect toward comprehension of grade eight students when reading narrative texts.
