Abstract
The objective of this research is to improve students’ reading comprehension through recognizing text organizations at SMP N 3 Polokarto Sukoharjo. This research applied the principles of action research. It was conducted in two cycles. The subjects of the study were 40 students of Class VIIIC of SMP N 3 Polokarto, Sukoharjo. In collecting data, the research employed some techniques, namely observations, interviews, and reading tests. The data were in the forms of field notes, students’ tests and interview transcripts. To deal with the problems, the researcher implemented recognizing text organizations as the main activity. This strategy has five kinds of patterns organization, i.e. description, sequence, causation, problem/solution, and comparison. This research employed the strategies of recognizing the description pattern for descriptive texts and recognizing the sequence pattern for recount texts because the focus on this research was descriptive and recount texts. In reference to the application of two cycles, the results of the research reveal that the use of recognizing text organizations, particularly, the strategy of recognizing the description and the sequence patterns successfully improved the students’ reading comprehension. The students were able to identify the ideas of paragraphs explained in supporting details and topics told in the chronological order in the texts so that they understood the texts. In addition, these activities made them become more active because they were accustomed to identifying the patterns before they answered questions. They also enjoyed the teaching and learning process of reading. The improvements were also seen from the students’ mean score from Pre-test and Post-test, 4.57 and 6.61, and from Achievement Tests 1 and 2 were 8.03 and 9.13.
