Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate whether: (1) The students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught by using INSERT strategy was higher than that taught by using K-W-L strategy, (2) The students’ achievement in reading comprehension with high curiosity was higher than that low curiosity, and (3) There was interaction between teaching strategies and curiosity on the students’ achievement in reading comprehension. This study was conducted at SMP Al-Ulum Medan during academic year 2017/2018. The population of this study was the eighth grade student which consists of six classes namely VIII-1, VIII-2, VIII-3, VIII-4, VIII-5, and VIII-6. So, the total of population was 228 students.
