The sample in this research was 30 students of class VII K, SMPN 1 Sukabumi City for the 2023/2024 academic year.The results of the research showed that the students' pretest had an average result of 75.83, when they were given treatment using running text media, the students' scores changed when they were given the posttest, namely 89, which means that the students' scores increased after being given treatment. There is a difference between these two values. The tcount ttable value has been consulted with a significance level of 0.05 and degrees of freedom (d) 23.
