Abstract
This study uses experimental research. Researchers used a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were class II students at SMPN 2 X Koto. Sample in VIII.
From the results of the calculation of the post-test values ??of the two classes, the average post-test value (2) of the experimental class was 71.77. This is higher than the average post-test control class (1), 61.29. This means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and it can be interpreted that the reading test results of students who are taught using the shared reading strategy are better than the results of the reading tests of students who are not taught using the shared reading strategy. So, it can be concluded that all hypotheses are accepted. It is proven that the use of shared reading strategies helps students' reading comprehension of narrative texts well.
