Students show attitude, interest and high enthusiasm. In addition, there is an increase in students' reading skills which is shown through the reading test results. In the pre-cycle activities of students there were no students who met the KKM standards. The results of the action cycle of one student who met the KKM standard were 15 people or 62.5%. The results of the actions in the second cycle of students who met the KKM standards were 23 or 95.83% of the total number of students.
