THE USE OF JIGSAW TO IMPROVE READING COMPREHENSION OF THE TENTH-GRADE STUDENTS OF SMAN 10 DENPASAR IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023

Reading is very significant since it is a method used to obtain messages or information. In addition to receiving information, we can comprehend the reading's material and apply it to our own future understanding. Reading can also boost vocabulary, lower stress, excite the mind, and broaden thinking. Reading is a process, physically and mentally. When digesting the information in reading, we think as we visually observe writing. This study aimed to improve reading comprehension with Jigsaw among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 10 Denpasar in the academic year 2022-2023.
