Abstract

This research discusses teaching reading by using Read Naturally program for second-grade students at SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar. This research used a pre-experimental design and focused on reading comprehension. The population of this research was second grade students of SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar in the 2025/2026 academic year. The sample was 20 students, and used a total sampling technique. The researcher used a multiple-choice test to measure students' reading comprehension abilities by using descriptive texts in Read Naturally as reading material. The data analysis technique used inferential statistics. The data showed that there was a difference in scores between the pre-test and post-test. This is evidenced by the t-test value which is greater than the t-table (12.885>2.093) at a significance level of 0.05 and df=19. This means that the hypothesis is not rejected while the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Based on these results, the researcher concluded that the use of Read Naturally can improve students' reading comprehension in the second grade students of SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar.
