Based on the mean score, the experimental groups students had higher reading scores (79) than those of control group (55.5). The students’ reading achievement in both groups was different as indicated by t-score. The result of t-score between two groups is 4.425 with the significant difference score is 0.000 which is lower than α = 0.05.
