There were 50 students who were sampled as 25 experimental classes and 25 control classes. In the process of data collection, researchers use tests and documentation as research instruments. The test takes the form of multiple choice containing 20 questions. Tests are given to both experimental and control classes as pre-test and post-test. To verity the hypothesis, researchers used an independent sample t-test in the SPSS 22 program. At the end of the implementation of literature circles the mean students’ score reading comprehension pre-test (60`60) and post-test (71.60 were compared, is significant difference. The hypothesis test results show that the output of the independent sample t-test (sig. 2-tailed) is 0.000 which is lower than 0.05 and the tcount value is 4.775 which is higher than the t-table df= 48 (2.010). Based on the results, it can be concluded that literature circles is effective in developing students’ abilities to be more active, analyzing, creating, writing, discussing and presenting.
