abstract={This study aims to examine the effectiveness of K-W-L Teaching Model applied in content mastery services to improve the students¡¯ ability to understand texts in junior high schools (SMP). It was an experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were Year-7 students of SMP Islam Al-Azhar Pontianak, SMP Negeri 2 Mempawah, and SMP Negeri 3 Singkawang. The ability to understand a text is indicated by (a) capturing the main idea of the text, (b) describing the essence of the text orally, (c) describing the contents of the text in a written form, and (d) formulating questions based on the text that has been read. The results showed that K-W-L Teaching Model was effective to improve the students¡¯ ability to understand texts, especially in capturing the main ideas of the text and describing the essence of the text orally; but it was not effective in describing the essence of the text in written forms and formulating questions based on the text that had been read.},
