Comprehending text is the final goal of reading. To comprehend the text, learners can use many strategies based on the purposes of the learning process. This article examines Islamic elementary reading comprehension through SQ3R strategy, how this strategy can increase learners’ reading skills. The method used is qualitative action research to know the process and solving the students’ problems while learning the process of reading. The researcher uses both qualitative and quantitative data through direct observation in the natural environment. The result shows that the SQ3R strategy can increase learners’ reading comprehension problems. It can be seen that learners can analyze the visual information, predict the content and improve their note-taking.
