The main goal of the study is to see if implementing Independent Reading can help students improve their English reading comprehension. The research used a quasi-experimental procedure with two sets of pre-test and post-test designs to achieve the research goal. The participants in this study were As'adiyah Putra 1 Sengkang second-year students. The students in the sample were from VII A, who were treated with Independent Reading, and VII B, who were treated in a traditional manner. The experimental group's post-test mean score was greater than the control group's 78.27, according to the findings of this study. The significance (2-tailed) in the post-test was 0.00<0.05, according to the findings of the data analysis. Based on the findings of the analysis, suggests that there was a significant difference in English reading comprehension between students in the experimental group who were taught using Independent Reading and students in the control group. As a result, it can be inferred that students' English reading comprehension can be improved by the usage of Independent Reading
