The research was conducted at the PKBM Medaso Kolaka by applying the experimental design. There were 15 students randomly took as the sample and they were taking a Paket B. The sample was divided into two groups, namely experimental group and control groups. The data were collected by administering a test, namely pre-test that aimed to determine the prior students’ knowledge, and the post-test that was conducted in the end of the experiment. Questionnaires and interviews were also used to collect data of the students’ perception. Then, the data were analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment assisted by SPSS 14.0. The results revealed that picture story books were able to improve students’ reading as well as the students’ interest in reading. The result showed that the utilization of picture story books had effect on the students’ reading comprehension that revealed the value of 0.025 with higher scores found in the post-test.  \nKeywords: picture story books, teaching reading, reading comprehension, PKBM Medaso Kolaka  \n1. Introduction  \nLanguage is an important part of human for communication. By a language, people are able to convey ideas, mind, opinion and feeling. Furthermore, since every country has its own language, people need an international language to match people global need. For that reason, there are a lot of people was mastering English as their foreign language.  \nLater on, as reading a lot can enrich students vocabulary mastery, so the researcher thinks that to improve the lower English proficiency students, reading activity is one alternative solution. In addition, the researcher has done a preliminary research on August, 25th of 2009 at PKBM Medaso Kolaka and she found that the students of PKBM Medaso Kolaka tend to encounter some difficulties in reading such as low motivation, infrequent tutors' (non-formal education teacher) coming, inappropriate teaching materials, etc. So, the researcher was thought to treat the PKBM Medaso student with reading activities.  \nIn other hand, PKBM Medoso students hold that learning English is a difficult task and they also think that reading is a stressing activity. So in the reading class performance, it is found that the students didn’t read the text; they chat eachother with different topic discussion; and join the class as formalization only. It is not only because of the hot atmosphere of the classroom, or the unkind tutors who almost leave their class, but also the inappropriate teaching method and materials used.  \nBased on the reality above, the English tutor at PKBM Medaso Kolaka need to improve their performance as well as to improve the students’ reading comprehension. The tutor should create an interactive reading activities as well as guiding the students to enjoy the reading activity.  \nThe researcher","cbCail1Zv6wcy2id","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail1Zv6wcy2id","pdf",663678,"English","# Introduction\n## Background and rationale\n## Related research and theories","[{\"question\":\"What problems in reading motivated the study at PKBM Medaso Kolaka?\",\"answer\":\"Students were reported to have low motivation, infrequent tutor presence, and inappropriate teaching materials, which led to difficulties in reading.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the effect of picture story books on reading comprehension tested?\",\"answer\":\"The study used an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test, comparing an experimental group and a control group.\"},{\"question\":\"What results did the study find about picture story books?\",\"answer\":\"Picture story books improved students’ reading and increased interest in reading, with reported influence on reading comprehension reflected by a value of 0.025 and higher post-test scores.\"}]","The Effect of Picture Story Books on Students’ Reading Comprehension - Research Article | PDF",1792067963,23]
