Then a post-test was distributed to determine the progress or reading ability of students, this test was given after students were given treatment for four meetings through the pre-question technique. The findings showed that the application of pre-questions was effective in improving students' reading achievement, especially in reading recount texts, this was indicated by the students' post-test scores which were better than the pre-test, both on multiple choice questions and essay questions.
