The objective of the research is to find out whether or not the use of Scaffolded
Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy can improve reading comprehension of the
eighth grade students of MTs DDI SONI. Additionally, this research was
conducted through quasi experimental research design in which the samples of
the research were grades VIII A and VIII B. The obtained data of this research
were analyzed statistically in order to find out the significant difference between
two groups on the posttest after the treatment using Scaffolded Reading
Experience (SRE) Strategy given to the experimental group. It was found that the
mean scores of both the experimental and control groups on the posttest are
respectively 51.76 and 41.01. Furthermore, referring to the ttable value of df 32
(17+17-2) by applying 0.05 level of significance on one-tailed test, it was found
that the tcounted value of this research (2.29) is higher than the ttable value (1.69). In
conclusion, the use of Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy can improve
