ABSTRACT K. N. Eva. 2008. Implementing OKRR (Overview Key Ideas Read Review) Strategy in Teaching Reading to Improve the Students Reading Comprehension at SMPN 2 Giligenting- Sumenep. Graduate Program of English Language Education State University of Malang. Advisors (1) Dr. Arwijati Murdibjono M.Pd. Dip. TESL (2) Dr. Monica Djoehana D. Oka M.A. Key Words Improve Reading Comprehension OKRR Strategy Based on the result of the preliminary study it was found out that the Grade VIII students at SMPN 2 Giligenting-Sumenep were not interested in the reading class. The students were not active. Their reading comprehension mastery was low and they needed a long time to understand a reading text even short text. The research problem of the study was how the implementation of the OKRR strategy in teaching reading can improve the students reading comprehension at SMPN 2 Giligenting-Sumenep. The objective of this study was to improve the students reading comprehension in order to understand the text efficiently and effectively. It was done by implementing the OKRR (Overview Key Ideas Read Review) strategy. The research method of the study was collaborative classroom action research with the researcher as the teacher and the collaborator as the observer. The action research was implemented in four cycles each of which took one meeting to finish. The subject of the study was the Grade VIII students of SMPN 2 Giligenting-Sumenep academic year 2006/2007 with the total number of 22 students. During the implementation of the strategy the students did certain tasks as the steps of the OKRR strategy to improve their reading comprehension. The students were assigned to overview the text to find the key ideas read the text to find explicit information and review the text to get detailed and implicit information. The source of data was based on the implementation of the OKRR strategy. For collecting data the researcher did certain activities namely doing observation having field-notes and analyzing the result of the quizzes. Based on the observation during the teaching and learning process it was found that the use of suitable text for students competence and the use of interesting and varied pictures were the important aspects in teaching of reading to improve the students (1) skill (2) activeness and (3) reading speed in comprehending the text. From this study some conclusions were drawn. The OKRR strategy to be followed was (1) overviewing the text (to find key ideas) (2) finding key ideas (3) read the text (to make three questions based on the text) and (4) reviewing the text (to answer the questions from other groups). The result of the implementing of the OKRR strategy identified that the students were more active. About 91% of the students reading comprehension is improved. The average of the student reading speed also improved twice as high as before the implementation of the OKRR strategy that was from 60 w.p.m in the first cycle to 121 w.p.m in the fourth cycle. It was suggested to other English teachers to apply the OKRR strategy as an alternative or a model of teaching reading. It is also suggested to other researchers to conduct similar studies in the different English skill grade and education level (such as SMA) to improve the students reading comprehension.
