This research aimed to determine whether there any differences in students’ reading abilities and learning outcomes using the CIRC learning method and the SQ3R learning method. The type of research used was quasy experimental design research with the Nonequivalent Multiple-Group Design type. The population in this study were all class V Cluster 1 Tarowang District which consists of three schools with a total 128 students. The research sample chosen was class V students UPT SD Negeri 4 Tarowang, totaling 40 students usingbo random cluster sampling technique.
