This research is motivated by the relatively low student achievement which is suspected because students are lazy to read and students are still difficult to understand the meaning of the text they read. Therefore it needs a strategy to be able to improve student learning outcomes. So one way that can be taken to improve this is by utilizing the Discovery Learning learning model. The purpose of this study was to determine the Effectiveness of the Discovery Learning Model on Students' Activities and Learning Outcomes of Intensive Reading in Grade III UPT SD Negeri 2 Turatea Jeneponto Regency. This type of research is a type of Pre Experimental Design research. The population in this study were students of class III UPT SD Negeri 2 Turatea and the sample in this study were some of the population of class III students of UPT SD Negeri 2 Turatea.
