Abstract
This sudy was motivated by the low ability of students to understand a text, so it needs an alternative in designing an effective model. One model that was considered effective in increasing students’ ability to understand a text was the Mind Mapping model. This model was able to help students to remember important information in reading quickly and creatively. This study was focused on efforts to improve students’ reading comprehension skills through the application of Mind Mapping model. The purpose of this study was to describe the improvement in students’ reading comprehension ability as a result of applying Mind Mapping model. The research method used was classroom action research using Kemmis and Mc.Taggart model. The instrument used were observation paper and test paper. As the subject of this study were students of grade 4 SDN Bunisari consisted of 25 students. Based on the results of data analysis it was known that the application of mind mapping model can improve students’ ability to undertstand a text. From the the first (pre test) data, student learning outcomes reached 48% included in the less category. After the fisrt cycle, student learning outcomes increased to 76% included in the good category. After making improvements in the second cycle, student learning outcomes increased to 88%. This shows that the reading comprehension ability of students increases after the implementation of the Mind Mapping model. Therefore the Mind Mapping model can be used as an alternative in learning reading comprehension.

Summary
Membaca merupakan keterampilan berbahasa yang mendasar dalam kehidupan setiap manusia. Berdasarkan pernyataan tersebut, jelas bahwa salah satu tujuan pembelajaran membaca di sekolah adalah pemerolehan pemahaman atas isi bacaan, bukan hanya semata-mata agar siswa mampu membaca saja. Dari hasil observasi tersebut diketahui bahwa kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa kelas IV SDN Bunisari yang berjumlah 25 orang masih rendah. Nugraha (2016:8) menyatakan bahwa “Menggunakan model Mind Mapping bisa menstimulus peserta didik untuk berani aktif dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Model pembelajaran Mind Mapping merupakan model yang dirancang untuk membantu siswa dalam proses memahami bacaan, menyimpan informasi, dan membantu siswa menyusun inti-inti yang penting dari sebuah bacaan. Penelitian tersebut diantaranya dilakukan oleh Mudalifa tahun 2018 yang berjudul, ”Pengaruh model pembelajaran mind mapping terhadap hasil belajar tema 2 subtema 1 peserta didik kelas IV SDN 2 Tanjung Senang” berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan terdapat peningkatan antara pretest dan posttest hasil belajar siswa dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran mind mapping, dapat diakui bahwa model pembelajaran mind mapping dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa
