Students’ initial reading learning completeness also increased by 45%, in cycle I which was completed individually out of 20 students only 11 (55%) students achieved learning completeness (KKM) and classical learning completeness had not been achieved. While in cycle II of 20 students there were 20 (100%) students who had achieved learning completeness (KKM) and classical learning completeness was achieved.
