In reference to the preliminary observations and interviews, there were some problems related to the reading comprehension learning process in the class. The problems related to the teaching method, the teacher, the students, and the reading material. After identifying the feasible problems, the researcher focused on improving the teaching method. Therefore, the efforts made to solve those problems were implementing multiple reading comprehension strategies.

The data of this study were mostly qualitative although there were some quantitative data. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions, interviewing students, and holding discussions with the English teachers, while the quantitative data were obtained by giving the
reading comprehension tests. The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and test scores. The validity of the data was obtained by applying the democratic validity, dialogic validity, catalytic validity, process validity, and outcome validity.
The result of this study shows that the implementation of multiple reading comprehension strategies in the reading class is proven to be effective to improve reading comprehension learning which evoke students’s reading motivation, maximize students’ reading engagement, and improve students’ reading comprehension ability. The improvement of the students’ reading motivation and engagement is supported by the results of observations and questionnaires. The improvement of the students’ reading comprehension ability is strengthened by the result of pre-test and post-test. The students’ score average of pre – test was 6.3 while in post – test was 7.6.
