Reading is used for written communication as people communicating with each other every day. Therefore as a form of communication reading is essential in people s lives. When people are not in face to face they can communicate by using messages they write. In reading there are two areas that are important for the readers to know which are skills and strategies. Using pictures is one of the reading strategies as reading is not just a skill of words but also for images. This study aims to investigate the effect of pictorial text features in reading tests to the students reading comprehension. This study used quasi experimental design. The population in this study was junior high school students in Malang. The samples in this study were class VIII-B SMPN 2 Malang and class VIII-F SMPS Kartika IV-9 Malang. Those two schools were chosen by using stratified random sampling technique while the classes were chosen by using random sampling technique. Students reading comprehension was measured by using an instrument in the form of multiple- choice reading test. The students were given two kinds of test which were reading test with pictures and reading test without pictures but in different order. The results showed that the mean score of reading test with pictures were higher than the mean score in reading test without pictures. The mean score of reading test with pictures was 64.7020 while the mean score of reading test without pictures was 59.9431. It means that the students when they are given a reading test with pictures have better reading comprehension than when they are given a reading test without pictures. The hypothesis testing by using Wilcoxon Rank Test was done and the calculated value in column Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) was .000. It is lower than .05 which means the students scores when they are given reading test with pictures are significantly higher than the students scores when they are given reading test without pictures.
