scaffolding strategy in teaching reading comprehension at the eighth grade of junior
high school. The design of this study was a quasi experimental study. The subjects
were the students of state junior high schools in Cirebon, Indonesia. The data were
obtained by administering reading test and from observation as a supporting data
analysis. The data of the test were analyzed by using t-test formula to know the
difference of the students’ comprehension in reading narrative text between two
groups. Meanwhile the result of the observation was analyzed descriptively. The
results indicate that there was a significant difference on students’ learning result
before and after Visual Scaffolding applied.
