The subjects of the study were the students of class VIII B of SMP Negeri 4 Malang. The study was designed as a classroom action research following Kemmis and McTaggart s model. The study was conducted in two cycles each of which consisted of four steps namely planning implementation observation and reflection.

Last in the reflection stage the researcher decided whether or not the technique applied was successful to solve students problem in reading. The instruments to collect the data were the evaluation sheet of the lesson plan field notes and students response journal. There was also an instrument in the form of quiz for evaluating the students mastery. The results of this study show that story mapping improves the students ability in comprehending reading texts especially narrative. Most of the students scores in quiz in each cycle after the implementation of the technique were above the SKBM. The students learning progress report scores after the implementation of the technique were also similar in which half of the students scores were above the SKBM. Story mapping activates the students as well as the teacher thus makes the class run more lively. Story mapping makes it easier for the students to understand a reading text. This technique also promotes cooperation and appreciation among the students. There are several suggestions that ought to be considered by the English teachers. First it is important for teachers to vary their teaching techniques in order to avoid students boredom. Second teachers should design class activities that activate the students. Third it is recommended for the teachers to include story mapping as one of the teaching techniques applied in the class.
