This research aimed to obtain the ability to read argumentation texts by students of SMA Negeri 1 Dolok Panribuan using the SQ4R method. The research method used is the experimental method. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Dolok Panribuan. In particular, the research was carried out in class X. The empirical research design was a group pre-test and post-test design. The research instrument used to obtain data is by using a test. The study results mean that the average value of student learning outcomes in the experimental class before being given less/low treatment and after being given treatment using the SQ4R method increased. This indicates an increase in student learning outcomes after being given treatment. This study aims to improve students' reading skills in understanding argumentation texts and applying the SQ4R method to other texts or discourses.
