Abstract: This research was an experimental research and conducted at SMPN 1 Bangsal Mojokerto. This research was purposed to know the effect of using skimming and scanning for eighth grade students’ reading comprehension. The respondents of this research was all of the eighth grade students in SMPN 1 Bangsal Mojokerto. The researcher took two classes as the samples from the total respondents by using lottery because the result of of One way ANOVA showed that population was homogenous. From that result VIII-C Class was chosen as the experimental group and VIII-D Class was chosen as the control group. The researcher gave different treatment to the experimental group and the control group. The researcher taught the experimental group by using skimming and scaning technique, but the control group was taught by using discussion technique. Skimming is a speed reading purposed to get the major details or the main idea of a text. A reader does skimming at a speed three to four times faster than the normal reading (Curnick, 2005). Brown, (2001: 307) states that scanning is quickly searching for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. From that definition, the researcher hoped that the students would got better score with these techniques. To know that, the researcher did the same reading post-test to both of the experimental group and the control group. The researcher did a try out to VIII-E Class to know the validity and the reliability coefficient of a test item. After know the validity and the reliability, the researcher did the post-test to the experimental group and the control group. The students’ post-test scores of both groups were then analyzed by using t-test formula in SPSS computing system to know the significant difference. According to the calculation of the students’ reading post-test score, the significant value was 0.047. It was less than 0.05 which was the significant level of 5%. From that, it can be concluded that if the result of t-computation is higher than the t-table, it means the null hypothesis (h0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (h1) is accepted. From that, the researcher had concluded that “There is an effect of using skimming and scanning on the eighth grades students’ reading comprehension at SMPN 1 Bangsal Mojokerto”.
