Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the effect of the Problem Based Learning model integrated with the Let's Read application on students' reading comprehension of narrative texts at SMA Swasta Teladan Pematangsiantar. The research employed a quasi-experimental quantitative design with a non-equivalent, involving class X-5 as the experimental group and class X-3 as the control group, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed with SPSS 22. The result of the analysis used a one-tailed test showed that the calculated t-value (2.452) was greater than the t-table value (1.666). Since t-count > t-table, H ₀ was rejected and H ₐ was accepted. This result indicated that the Problem Based Learning model integrated Let's Read application had a positive and significant effect on students' reading comprehension of narrative texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Problem Based Learning model integrated Let's Read application is effective and can be applied as an alternative model in teaching reading comprehension skills.
