Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) on the reading comprehension of the tenth-grade students in understanding descriptive texts at SMK Telkom Pekanbaru. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test that met the criteria of validity and reliability. The results showed an increase in the mean scores from the pre-test to the post-test; however, the data were not normally distributed. Therefore, hypothesis testing was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The findings revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores, with a significance value of 0.242 and an effect size of 0.23, which is categorized as a small effect. Overall, the results indicate that although Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) led to a descriptive improvement in students’ reading comprehension, its effect was not statistically significant. This result may be influenced by the relatively short duration of the treatment and differences in students’ initial reading abilities.
