ABSTRACT Key Words SSS extensive reading conventional way low achieving students comprehension achievement Most students still have reading problems such as difficulty to understand the texts low mastery of vocabulary low speed of reading and low habit of reading. These problems could result from many factors. They could derive from the teaching strategy the students intelltual competence themselves or the students socio and economic condition which force them to be lack of school facilities and eventually causes low interest of studying and low scores of English. To provide solution to these problems the writer proposed what so called the SSS Extensive Reading Program. The SSS Extensive Reading Program is a kind of reading strategy in which the learners are introduced with the reading activity using a variety of short illustrated stories. The aim of the study is to verify whether the first grade students of PGRI Lawang Senior High School taught using the SSS extensive reading perform better in reading comprehension than the students taught reading using the conventional way. The study intended to obtain a logical and reliable information whether there was a significant difference between students reading comprehension of the experimental and control groups. The subjects of the study were 61 students of the first grade of PGRI Lawang Senior High School. Thirty students were assigned as the experimental group and the other thirty one students were assigned as the control group. Of the two groups those who get UAN scores below the school passing grade will be compared and analyzed in terms of the post test given after the treatment. The design of the research is quasi-experimental with non randomized control group post test. It is called quasi-experimental because of two reasons. First the researcher could not fully control the scheduling of the experimental condition. Second the researcher could not assign subjects randomly. The research instrument was in the form of 30 multiple choice-test items which covers English reading comprehension of the first grade students of PGRI Lawang Senior High School. The experimental group was taught reading using the SSS extensive reading while the control group was taught reading conventionally. Afterwards both groups were simultaneously given the same post test. Further since the two groups were homogeneous the data analysis for the post test scores was computed using the t-test. The average scores of reading comprehension of the control and the experimental group were compared. The result of the computation shows that there is a significant difference between the scores of the students taught using the SSS extensive reading and the scores of those taught using the conventional way with the average score 66.67 for the experimental group and 48.94 for the control group. Based on the findings of the research it is recommended that English teachers apply the SSS extensive reading program to obtain better students achievement in reading comprehension. In addition the SSS extensive reading could provide such a pleasant feeling of reading that at the proper time it could improve the students habit of reading. To support the efficacy of the triple S extensive reading program smoothly at school it is strongly recommended for English teachers to provide a small classroom library which contains various reading texts with different levels of difficulty some administrative forms required to monitor the extensive reading program. To maintain students motivation and interest in reading cooperation with the students parents in a conducive situation is of great importance. Teachers or parents can give information about the progress of their students in conducting the extensive reading program. The school librarians could endow the school library with a large number of readers as a supplement for students in learning English extensively. To provide sufficient reading materials for the library it is advisable for them to build cooperation with either state or private owned company to accomplish the financial budget needed in this program.
