The techniques of collecting data were documentating and testing. This study held on December 2015 to September 2016. Result of the analysis in students test shows that the mean value of the students‟ reading comprehension skills using Concept Mapping is 18.87. And the frequency of students‟ reading comprehension skill using Concept Mapping is 91.31%, while 8.69% students were under the mean value. Ideal mean of data of students‟ reading comprehension skill using Concept Mapping is 15.625 and the empirical mean was 18.87, while the ideal standard deviation is3.125 and the empirical standard deviation is2.55. On the analysis, it can be seen that the frequency of students‟ reading comprehension skill using Existing method is 58.33%, while 41.66% students are under the mean value. Ideal mean of data of students‟ reading comprehension skill using Existing method is 15.625 and the empirical mean is16.79, while the ideal standard deviation is3.125 and the empirical standard deviation is2.52. The score of tobs = 2.812 >ttable 5% 2.016. It can be stated that there is a positive and significant difference between students‟ reading comprehension skill using Concept Mapping and students‟ reading comprehension skill using Existing teaching method. The conclusion of this study is that Concept Mapping enhance students reading comprehension skill.
