%X The aim of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of using THIEVES and   CSR strategies  to  improve  the  reading  comprehension  of grade  8  students  of   MTsN 2 Jepara.    In order to achieve the objective of this research, the researcher designed a   quasi-experimental study. The subject of this study was 110  grade 8  students of   MTsN  2 Jepara; 38 students acted as the experimental group 1 to be taught   reading comprehension by using  the THIEVES strategy, 36 students acted as the   experimental  group 2 to be taught reading comprehension by using  the  CSR   strategy,  and the other 36 students as the control group to be taught reading   comprehension by using  the conventional strategy. The  instrument for collecting   the data included  a pre-test and post-test, which consisted of 40 multiple-choice   items. The resulting data were compared and analyzed to see the effectiveness of   using the two strategies.      The results of the study show that the score of experimental groups 1 and 2   is higher than that of the control group. Based on the results, it can be concluded   that  THIEVES and CSR  strategies  are effective  in  improving  reading   comprehension. The data  also  show  that  the  CSR strategy is better than  the   THIEVES strategy.   Keywords: reading comprehension, CSR Strategy, THIEVES Strategy
