description: Reading comprehension is an essential skill for academic success, yet many  students in senior high schools struggle with it due to limited vocabulary, unfamiliar  grammar, and lack of effective reading strategies. This study aims to examine the  influence of Interactive Reading Aloud (IRA) and Close Reading (CR) on students’  reading comprehension. Using a quasi-experimental design, two classes of tenthgrade students were selected as experimental and control groups, each receiving  treatment using Interactive Reading Aloud and Close Reading. The data were  collected through pre-test and post-tests that assessed reading comprehension using  multiple-choice, matching, and cloze task. The results revealed that both strategies  significantly improved students' reading comprehension. However, students in IRA  group showed greater improvement than the CR group. An independent sample ttest showed that the calculated t-value exceeded the critical value from the t-table,  indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. This  difference is attributed to the interactive and engaging nature of IRA, which  includes expressive storytelling, guided questioning, and active student  participation. The findings that while both IRA and CR are effective, IRA is more  impactful in fostering comprehension in EFL classrooms. Therefore, it is  recommended as a practical strategy to support reading development among high  school students.  Keyword : Close Reading, Interactive Reading Aloud, Reading Comprehension
