Improving Reading and Writing Skill with Cognitive Approach Techniques for Junior High School StudentsThis research aims to improve students' ability to read and write by means of the student's Cognitive approach. This cognitive approach is to improve understanding, memory, independence, critical thinking and generate creativity in every learning process. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The subjects of this study were seventh grade students at SMPN 2 Samudra. Data was collected through reading tests and interviews over several meetings. Based on the initial observation, there was a finding of junior high school students in grade VII who were generally still very weak in reading comprehension and rewriting the content of their reading. The results showed a very significant improvement. The increase in reading comprehension and the ability to rewrite the content of reading using their own language reached 90%. This improvement was due to the fact that almost all students were motivated and very creative during the learning process using the cognitive approach.]]>
