Discovery method is mental process in which students are able to assimilate something concepts or principles. What is meant by mental processes among others are: observe, digest, understand, classify, make allegations, explaining. The objective of this research is to find out whether Discovery method is effective or not on students‟ reading ability of the tenth grade students. In this research, the researcher took 22 students as the sample . Then, the researcher gave pre-test and post-test. The researcher taught reading by using Discovery method to the experimental class. The researcher then statistically analyzed the data by using t-test separated variance. After analyzing the data, the researcher concluded that teaching reading by using Discovery method is effective in increasing students‟ reading ability. As the fact, the result of t-value is 6.23. Based on the 0.05 significant level, the value of t-table is 2.07. The result of computation shows that t-value is higher than t-table, that is 6.23>2.07. Another fact shows that the strategy used is effective. It is shown by the mean of post-test that is higher than the mean of pre-test. In the post-test, the mean is 76. On the contrary, the mean of pre-test is 68.
