Terdapat 26 siswa dalam kelompok eksperimental dan 27 siswa dalam kontrol sebagai sampel yang dipilih secara acak di SMAN 1 tegineneng Pesawaran. Untuk mengumpulkan data, tes digunakan. Data dari tes dianalisis dengan SPSS menghasilkan nilai signifikansi yang lebih rendah dari taraf signifikansi (0,00<0,05) yang berarti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada peningkatan kemampuan membaca siswa antara pelatihan metakognitif strategi yang regular dan termodifikasi.. Oleh karena itu, pelatihan metakognitif strategy yang termodifikasi lebih baik untuk digunakan dan dapat meningkatkan pencapaian pemahaman siswa. Selain itu, kemampuan siswa dalam aspek  memahami detail teks meningkat paling signifikan.
