The weakness of students’ ability in reading comprehension mastery is attributable of using unsuitable method. Some methods which can improve the students’ ability in reading comprehension mastery are extensive reading and intensive reading. Aim of this research is to know whether there is a significant difference of extensive reading and intensive reading on the students’ ability in reading comprehension mastery to the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kotanopan. The population of this research is the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kotanopan, which consist of 198 students. Researcher used cluster sampling technique as a tool to determine the sample. Ninety two students from the population were taken as the sample of the research. The sample was divided into two classes. The first class fourty six students as the experimental class was taught by using extensive reading and the second class fourty six students as the control class was taught by using intensive reading. Result of the observation was analyzed by using ttest formula. Researcher found that experimental class by using extensive reading in posttest show that the mean score is 81.06 with the highest score is 85 and the lowest score is 50. While, in control class by using intensive reading the mean score is 75.55 with the highest score is 80 and the lowest score is 50. The coefficient of tcount is 3.27 and it is compared with ttable, were the coefficient of ttable is 1.66. The data analysis showed that students’ score in the experimental class by using extensive reading was significantly higher than students’ score in the control class by using intensive reading at the level of significance 5% with the degree of freedom 90. The table at 5 % significant level, it is 1.66, cause tcount 3.27 > ttable1.66. Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted. It means that there is significant difference of extensive reading and intensive reading on the students’ ability in reading comprehension mastery to the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kotanopan.
