This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) learning model in an effort to improve the reading comprehension skills of grade V students of SDN Padek 2 Serang City. The background of this research is based on the low reading comprehension skills of students who are still below the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). A quasi-experiment was used as a research method with a pre-test-post-test control group design, involving two classes: an experimental class using the SQ3R model and a control class using a conventional learning model. The results showed that the SQ3R model was able to improve students' reading comprehension skills, marked by a significant increase in the average post-test score in the experimental class from 63.9 to 81.7, compared to the increase in the control class from 61.23 to 75.85. Hypothesis testing also reinforced these findings, with tcount ≥ ttable (2.577 ≥ 2.002), which means there is a significant effect of using the SQ3R model on students' reading comprehension ability. In conclusion, the SQ3R model has a positive impact on improving students' reading comprehension skills and is recommended as an effective learning strategy in primary schools to improve the quality of students' literacy.
