Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of Wattpad by ninth- grade students at SMP IT Bina Insani Metro had a positive and significant influence on their narrative reading comprehension. Based on a pre-survey, students often had difficulty understanding narrative texts, so they needed the right media to improve their reading comprehension. In this study, the researcher used Wattpad as an alternative media to present interesting Islamic narrative stories.

This research investigates the theoretical basis of how the use of Wattpad media impacts students' reading comprehension. The process of understanding text, known as reading comprehension, consists of several important components, such as identifying main ideas, inference, reference, details, and vocabularies. This media is used to create innovative and interesting learning experiences and utilizes interactive digital media that presents Islamic stories. Islamic stories were chosen because they contain relevant moral values and support contextual learning.

This research used a quantitative quantitative approach with a quasi- experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. Students in class IX A were used as the experimental group and students in class IX B were used as the control group. This research used cluster random sampling. Data were collected through tests and documentation. To analyze the data, the researcher used an independent sample t-test in SPSS version 27.
