ABSTRACT Reading comprehension has been highlighted as a problem among secondary school students This study examined the effects of short stories on 80 seven grade students to show if the method had an impact on students‟ reading comprehension Besides, this research also figured out the suitable methods teachers used to exploit short stories in teaching reading skill To serve this purpose, some instruments were used: pre-test, post-test; questionnaire for teachers and questionnaire for students Although the findings revealed some limitations, the use of short stories helped students to improve their reading comprehension The result in reading test showed a slight improvement on the students‟ average score In addition, the result from questionnaire and interview indicated both teachers and students had difficulties when teaching and learning reading through short stories However, many suitable methods had been applied to help students and teachers overcome these obstacles and ensure the better use of short stories in teaching reading skill It is thus recommended for further studies to minimize the challenge found in this study and vary kinds of short stories used in teaching English skills iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

Median - Definition:is the middle number of a group of numbers; that is, half the numbers have values that are greater than the median, and half the numbers have values that are less than the median - Formula: Median uses the following formula: Where:Mdnis the median L is the lower limit of the interval containing the median N is the total number of scores is the sum of the frequencies or number of scores up to the interval containing the median fw is the frequency or number of scores within the interval containing the median i is the size or range of the interval Excel formula: MEDIAN(number1,number2, ) Note: Number1, number2, are to 255 numbers for which you want the median - For example: calculating the median of class 7A1 in pre-test Click on cell C2 - the location where
