In analyzing the data, the researchers used a t-test to find out whether there was a significant difference before and after students were given treatment using short stories. The results of statistic calculations showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. This was indicated by the t-test value which is greater than the t-table value (26.796>1.711). Based on the result, it can be obtained that the use of short stories is effective in teaching reading comprehension of narrative text to the first-year students of SMK Negeri Campalagian.
