%X Reading is a dynamic process of catching the words' meaning and getting the text's 
information. However, reading interest is still a big problem in Indonesia. This 
research aims to prove the effectiveness of using KWL strategy on students' reading 
comprehension. The KWL strategy stands for what I Know, what I Want to learn, 
and what I did Learn. This research applied a pre-experimental method with one 
group pre-test and post-test design as the research methodology. The tenth-grade 
students in SMAN 1 Cisaat are taken as the population of this research. Thirty-five 
students were selected as the samples using a random sampling technique with the 
lottery method. The tests were given to measure their reading comprehension 
ability, and the data were analyzed using the t-test formula. From the calculation, 
the researcher finds the result of the t-test value is 11.28 with the degree of freedom 
(df) is 34, and the t-table value at the significant level of 0.05 is 2.042. the result 
shows that the value of the t-test is higher than t-table 11.28 > 2.042. it means that 
the alternative hypothesis (ha) is received. Therefore, the researcher concludes that 
using the KWL strategy affects students' ability in reading comprehension.
