Abstract

The study is divided into two cycles. Two meetings were held during each cycle. The students’ reading comprehension value in cycle 1 did not meet the success criteria. Only 8 out of 24 students (66.7%) met the success requirements. Therefore, the researchers updated their strategy and moved on to the next cycle. The average value of students increased in cycle 2. All students got good grades, while no one got a negative score. In conclusion, the herringbone method used in class X at MTsN 1 Batu was able to improve students' ability to read narrative material
