The research was conducted in three cycles by following the classroom action research procedure which covered planning implementing observing and reflecting. Each cycle was carried out in four meetings. Data of the research were collected using reading comprehension tests observation checklist and field notes. Research findings showed that Interactive ReadingGuides strategy improved of students comprehension reading ability. The improvement can be seen from the students scores which fulfilled the criteria of success. 70% students reach gain scores as much as 10 pointsfrom the preliminary tests. The students score as much as 10 points was 36% in test 1 52% in test 2 and 92% in test 3. In other words students with a successful category in the test 1was 9 in test 2 was 13 and in test 3 was 23.
