There were two kinds of data, qualitative and quantitative data.

The result of this research showed that the students’ participation in each cycle improved significantly. Cycle 1 showed the improvement of 21.26% and cycle 2 86.56%. The average of students’ participation in both contributive and initiative participation from cycle 1 to cycle 2 in reading class was 65.30%. It meant that the result of this research had reached the success indicator (65%). Thus, the quality of students’ participation was good.
