This research is categorized as Classroom Action Research (CAR) employing the four steps namely: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The types of data were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained through classroom observation and interviews. The quantitative data were obtained from the pre-test and post-test.

In reference to the actions conducted in two cycles, use of the POSSE strategy improves students’ reading comprehension as justified in the following results. First, most students show their enthusiasm and active participation in the teaching and learning process of reading. Second, the use of POSSE strategy facilitates students to enrich their vocabulary.
