Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes pemahaman membaca. Paired-sample t-test digunakan untuk menganalisis pengaruh terhadap pemahaman membaca siswa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari pemahaman membaca siswa sebelum dan sesudah MRST, dengan nilai t-ratio 13.498 yang berarti lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan t-table 2.056. Temuan tersebut menjelaskan bahwa MRST efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman membaca siswa.
