<![CDATA[This research aimed to provide empirical evidence of the impact of the Word Attack Strategy on students' achievement in reading descriptive texts, specifically among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri I Teluk Mengkudu. The study was conducted as experimental research, with the population consisting of all seventh-grade students. The sample included 20 students in the experimental group and 19 students in the control group. Data was collected using a test as the primary instrument and analyzed using a t-test formula. The analysis revealed that the mean score of the experimental group was 94.25, while the control group had a mean score of 71.05. The findings indicate that the Word Attack Strategy had a significant effect on reading skills, as evidenced by the t-score (t₀) of 6.189, which was higher than the t-table (tₜ) value of 1.687 at a significance level of 0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, demonstrating that the Word Attack Strategy is more effective and significant in improving reading skills compared to conventional methods.]]>
