The score each item was 2.5. In calculating the data analysis, the writer used ttest formula. Based on the data analysis, the writer got the result that Hα was accepted. It was obtained that ttest = 5.71 ttable for α = 0.05 was 2.02 and for α = 0.01 was 2.70 (5.71 > 1.68 < 2.42). So Hα was accepted. It has positive influence of using Imagine, Elaborate, Predict And Confirm (IEPC) strategy towards students’ reading skill. It showed that average of students’ reading skill who was taught by using iepc strategy was higher (72.37) than who was taught by using direct instruction (57.7). Based on the result of the research, there was influence of Imagine, Elaborate, Predict and Confirm (IEPC) strategy towards students’ reading skill at SMK Pelita Bangunrejo in the academic year of 2021/2022.
