The purpose of this research was to examine the significant effect of know, want to know, learned (kwl) strategy on students’ reading comprehension in expository text at grade XI in SMA N 1 Barumun. The method was used in this research was experimental research. Two classes were chosen randomly as the sample.

After analyzing the data, the researcher found that mean score of experimental class after using know, want to know, learned (kwl) strategy was higher than control class. Mean score of experimental class before using know, want to know, learned (kwl) strategy was 55.64 and mean score of experimental class after using know, want to know, learned (kwl) strategy was 73.84.
