This research was designed to figure out the effectiveness of the think aloud strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension ability. The think aloud strategy is a learning strategy whereby students verbalize their thought as they read. Twenty 2nd grade students of MAS Darul Ulum Banda Aceh participated in this quantitative research. This research used a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest. The finding showed that the think aloud strategy improves students’ reading comprehension ability, especially in analytical exposition text. It can be seen from the mean score of the post-test (54.4) which was higher than that of the pre-test (36.4). The t-test analysis showed that the t-score (4.255) obtained a higher gain than the t-table (2.085). This strategy successfully helped the students to increase their reading comprehension ability in all aspects, particularly in identifying main ideas, making inferences, summarizing, and interpreting vocabulary.
