The results of the research conducted show that there is a significant effect of using the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy in students' reading lessons. The results of research conducted by researcher indicate that there is a significant influence by using the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy in students' reading lessons. From the results of the data, obtained the average score of the pre-test (1798) and post-test (2313). t-observe (3.315) and t-table (1.705). It supported by the t-test value that was higher than t-table value (3.35>1.705). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis shows that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that there is a significant effect of using the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy in improving reading comprehension in class XI IPK MAN Dharmasraya.
