<![CDATA[The focus of this research was to find out if eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 Palu could improve reading comprehension by using the Jumbled Summary Strategy. Two groups participated in the study's quasi-experimental design: one was taught the Jumbled Summary Strategy, while the other was taught conventional methods. Pre- and post-tests were administered to both groups to determine their reading comprehension development, particularly at the literal comprehension level with narrative texts. Statistical tests such as the t-test, homogeneity test, and normality test were used to assess the data.With the mean score rising from 28.72 on the pre-test to 56.70 on the post-test, the experimental group's reading comprehension scores shown a significant improvement, according to the data. The mean score for the control group, however, dropped from 31.48 to 26.32. The experimental group's pre-test and post-test scores differed in a statistically significant way (p 0.05), according to the paired sample t-test, while the control group did not significantly improve. These results show how well the Jumbled Summary Strategy improves students' ability to identify main ideas, recall details, and arrange data rationally. In conclusion, the use of the Jumbled Summary Strategy has a positive effect on students reading comprehension. It encourages active learning, critical thinking, and better engagement with the text. Therefore, this strategy is recommended as an effective alternative for English teachers to improve students reading comprehension skills, particularly in understanding narrative texts.]]>
