Finally, first the writer found that significant probabilities was higher than 0.05 (sig > 0.05) in multiple comparison one way ANOVA. It means that there is no significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between using NHT and RSQC2 techniques are good in comprehending reading text at SMKN 6 Pekanbaru.
