The aims of the research were to know the implementation of SLWM strategy in improving student’s reading comprehension in narrative texts and to find out whether there was any significant difference of reading skill between students who were taught by using Save the Last Word for Me (SLWM) Strategy. And students who were taught by using none Save the Last Word for Me (SLWM) Strategy at Mts Ar-Rahman Simpang Yul in Academic Year 2018/2019.
In this research, the researcher limited the study in reading comprehension skill specifically; understanding main idea, using vocabulary knowledge and making inference. The type of text used in the research was narrative texts in legend and fables. In this research, the researcher used quantitative approach namely quasi-experimental design. To find out whether there were significant difference between who were taught by using SLWM strategy and who were taught by using non SLWM strategy.
Based on the result of independent simple post-test of experimental and control group, it was found that t-obtained in equal variances assumed was 3.084. Compering the t-obtained and t-table was 2.06 and degree of freedom was 50. Since p-output or the significant (2-tailed) was .003 lower than computation with level significant 0.05 and t-obtained 3.084 was higher than t-table 2.06. It means that there was significant difference between the post-test in experimental and control group. The researcher result showed that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and Alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It means that SLWM strategy was proven significantly to improve students’ reading comprehension skill
