Based on the previous study of this technique this technique that is claimed to be applicable for students of lower level of linguistic knowledge than college students can be a useful technique to be applied to help students comprehending text. This study was directed to examine the effect of The Content-Based Summarizing Technique on reading comprehension of narrative texts of the twelfth graders of SMA Negeri 1 Probolinggo in terms of the significant difference in understanding the main ideas between students who are taught using Content-Based Summarizing Technique and those who are taught without using Content-Based Summarizing Technique. A quasi experimental study with nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design was conducted to answer whether there is a significant difference on the students ability in comprehending texts between the students who were taught by using Content-Based Summarizing Technique than those who were taught without using Content-Based Summarizing Technique. The population and samples of this study were twelfth graders of XII-IA2 and XII-IA3 in SMA Negeri 1 Probolinggo.

The data obtained from the test administered were in the form of scores derived from the number of proposition of given passages. The statistical analysis used in this study was the Analysis of Covariance for the students scores. The result showed that there was significant difference in reading comprehension of narrative texts in terms of understanding the main ideas between the twelfth graders of SMA Negeri 1 Probolinggo who were taught using Content-Based Summarizing Technique and those who were taught without using Content-Based Summarizing Technique. The students who were taught by using Content-Based Summarizing Technique achieved better scores than those who were taught without using Content-Based Summarizing Technique.

Based on the findings it is suggested that Senior High School teachers use Content-Based Summarizing Technique in teaching reading to help students comprehend reading texts and also to help students increase their vocabulary. Besides the practical suggestions for further study are suggested. First it is suggested that for further studies it can be conducted by using other types of text like descriptive and argumentative.
