<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of using the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) reading learning method on the reading comprehension ability of fourth-grade students at SD Inpres Pakatto Caddi, Gowa Regency. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach (Quasi-Experimental Design) using the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research population included all 52 fourth-grade students of SD Inpres Pakatto Caddi, with sample class IV-A as the experimental class (26 students) and class IV-B as the control class (26 students) selected through cluster sampling technique. The results showed that the students' reading comprehension ability before treatment (pre-test) was in the low category with an average of 48.15 in the experimental class and 52.88 in the control class. After treatment (post-test), the reading comprehension ability of the experimental class experienced a very significant increase to 85.46 (very high category and 100% mastery level), while the control class reached an average of 72.50 (mastery level of 42.3%). N-Gain Score analysis showed the effectiveness of the experimental class was 0.71 (high category) compared to the control class of 0.41 (medium category). Hypothesis testing using Independent Sample T-Test obtained a calculated t-value of 5.364 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.001 < 0.05, so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. These findings prove empirically that the SQ3R method has a positive and significant effect on improving students' reading comprehension ability in elementary school.]]>
