The method applied in this research is quantitative approach with experimental research model. The researcher used documentation, tests, and interview to collect the data in MAN 1 Kota Kediri in class XI. The data analysis used t-test with paired sample t-test. The result shows that PQ4R method is effective in improving reading skills, with the calculation result of pre-test score in the experimental class 66.08 and the control class 65.08 with a difference of 1.00. The results of post-test of experimental class 86.52 and 63.04 control class with a difference of 23.48, so the experimental class using the PQ4R method is higher than the control class. The data analysis used is t-test with the calculation of sig (2-tiled), with the result of sig (2-tiled) = 0.00, because the result of sig (2-tiled) 0.00> 0.05.
