(Methodology) This study used a quantitative research method and comparative design. The participants of the study were 63 students that were divided into two groups. Class VIIB students were taught through the START model and VIIC students were taught through the T-A-I model. The conclusion is: There was an improvement in the reading comprehension ability of students who were taught using START, categorized as moderate and T-A-I cooperative learning models, categorized as low. Moreover, there is a difference in the students reading comprehension improvement between those who acquired START and T-A-I teaching models.  \nKeywords: Reading comprehension ability, Narrative Text, Descriptive Text, START, T-A-I, Teaching Model.  \nIntroduction  \nReading comprehension is one of the key abilities for academic achievement, (Krieber, 2016). The main purpose of having good reading comprehension in the reading book is to gain all of the understanding that was exist in the written text. Unwittingly, everyone will need to improve their comprehension skill in order to find out information, knowledge, and the latest news from written text. People who love reading activity can improve his or her knowledge by reading any written text such as descriptive and narrative text that contains the main idea.  \nAccording to Anderson, Hiebert, and Wilkinson,(1985), cited in Alharbi (2015) that \"the ability to read and comprehend efficiently is essential for meeting the needs of everyday life as well as for success in the academic arena\". If the ability in comprehending reading is low, it means there are also difficulties in acquiring the knowledge while reading the books.  \nAcuity 4(1), 32-44  \nRahmasari (2014)“Bandung as one of tourism object, particularly as culinary and shopping destination, is also strongly affected in the usage of English”. In this issue, strategies are needed to help students to easily comprehend English especially reading through activities in the classroom.“In the case of Indonesians, there is a high level of acceptability and tolerance of the use of English. The teaching of English in the school curriculum is given a higher priority over all other foreign languages in the school systems”. “Thus, the teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is, in fact, compulsory”(Katemba, 2013) . However,“as Indonesian students, they have already encountered problems with reading comprehension in Indonesian, the language that they’ve acquired and learned, they also find it way more difficult to read and comprehend reading in English, the foreign language that they do not acquire and learn it barely for a short time”(Siagian & Katemba, 2016) .  \nTo solve the problem such as \"there is a great level difference in terms of language skills of the students\"(Burcu, 2015), that affect lack of the interest and low motivation in reading activities for the other students, the researcher is going to implement two models for reading activity groups in which these models need assistants as students' guide and helper in the group. START (Students and Teacher Actively Reading Text) model will be assisted by the researcher (Scarlach, 2008) .
