Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah strategi Prediction dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 2 Bumiraya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pra-eksperimental dengan desain satu kelompok yang diberi pre-test, perlakuan, dan post-test. Sampel terdiri dari 27 siswa kelas VIII Cut Nyak Dien yang dipilih dari total populasi sebanyak 82 siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi Prediction efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa. Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata nilai pre-test sebesar 45,92 meningkat menjadi 72,96 pada post-test. Selain itu, hasil uji t (t-hitung) sebesar 3,0 lebih tinggi dibandingkan nilai t-tabel sebesar 1,706. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis penelitian diterima, yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai pre-test dan post-test siswa. Dengan demikian, penggunaan strategi Prediction terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa.

This study aimed to determine whether the Prediction Strategy could improve the reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Bumiraya. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The sample consisted of 27 students from Class VIII Cut Nyak Dien, selected from a total population of 82 students. The findings indicated that the Prediction Strategy was effective in enhancing students' reading comprehension. The data analysis revealed that the average pre-test score was 45.92, which increased to 72.96 in the post-test. Furthermore, the t-test result (t-count) was 3.0, which was higher than the t-table value of 1.706. This means that the research hypothesis was accepted, indicating a significant difference between the students' pre-test and post-test scores. In conclusion, the use of the Prediction Strategy proved to be effective in improving students' reading comprehension skills.
