This changing becomes a new demand for the teacher as an educator to facilitate their learners with teaching aids practices that adjust learners to be actively participate in the classroom. Thus, this study used Directed Reading Thinking Activities (DRTA) to reveal the effectiveness of this strategy on the students’ reading comprehension teaching. A quasi-experimental research design with pretest and posttest was used in this study. Two classes were randomly selected as the sample of this research. They are class 8C which used Directed Reading Activities (DRA) as the control group, while class 8H becomes the experimental group which used Directed Reading Thinking Activities (DRTA). Independent and dependent (paired) sample t-tests were used to analyze the data. The research finding showed: 1) there were no significant differences of posttest score among the students taught by using DRTA and those taught by using DRA strategy in reading comprehension teaching, 2) there were significant effects of using DRTA in reading comprehension teaching for grade eight students. DRTA strategy was believed to give more contribution (82%) than DRA strategy which contributed only 77%. In conclusion, DRTA was effective strategy in reading comprehension teaching.

The quantitative data were collected by using pretest and posttest to assess the reading comprehension. The result indicated that there was a difference in the students’ reading achievement given different treatment. Students taught using PQ4R had an improvement from 61.75 to 71.63 while students taught using CSR had improvement from 63.32 to 75.50. Students taught using conventional technique also indicated improvement from 62.5 to 68.38. The most effective technique was CSR compared to PQ4R and Conventional techniques. The improvement of students’ reading skill development reach 15.9% while the improvement using PQ4R was 19.25% 9 and using conventional technique was 9.28%. Therefore, it can be concluded that CSR was the most effective technique for teaching reading skills for adolescents compared to PQ4R and conventional techniques
