abstract: Reading is a process of understanding to know the meaning of the words, ideas, 
and information presented by the author. However there are some common
problems the teachers found in teaching reading comprehension such as students 
faced a long text that make them bored. Moreover, it is difficult for them to 
understand the context of the text. The present strategy of Know Want Learn 
(KWL) can be used by teacher in the teaching reading. The purpose of this 
research is to improve the students‟ reading comprehension through KWL. The 
subject of the research is the eight grade students of SMP Triple „J‟. There are 35 
students taught by using KWL Chart strategy. The instruments for the data 
collection are reading comprehension test, questionnaire, and observation. The 
research was conducted in two cycles processes. Based on the research finding, 
the first cycle students‟ average score was 63.25% meanwhile the target of 
research was 70.00%, so it can be decided that action should be continued to the 
second cycle. The average score of students‟ reading comprehension in second
cycle is 73.85%. It means that the results are better than first posttest. From the 
observation notes of students‟ enthusiasm, the percentage of „on task‟ students 
increases from 84.86% in first cycle to 93.92% in second cycle. It means that 
students‟ enthusiasm has improved. They are more active, creative and 
enthusiastic when KWL strategy was applied in classroom. In short, KWL is a 
good strategy to use in teaching reading comprehension, because KWL helps 
students to activate background knowledge and provide them an opportunity to 
write their ideas. So, they become creative students
