The major purpose of this research was to assess the efficacy of the Inquiry 
approach in improving reading comprehension ability. To test, this study used a 
quantitative and pre-experimental approach. The pre-experimental included two 
tests: a pre-test at the start and a post-test following treatment. This study's 
number of samples was 30 eighth-grade students. The findings revealed that post?test scores grew and surpassed pre-test values. The mean pre-test of students was 
62.00, and the mean post-test score of students in experimental group was 78.00.
Furthermore, at a level of significance of 0.05%, the t-score is considered to be 
less than the t-table. The Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, the Null 
Hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, based on this analysis. So, it can be concluded that 
there is a significant difference between students? reading comprehension taught 
by using inquiry method.}
