The efficiency of the activity sets, measured using the 5W1H technique, is found to be E1/E2 = 84/87.50, which meets the standard efficiency criteria of 80/80. Overall, student satisfaction with the reading comprehension activity sets is rated at a high level . When analyzed by category, satisfaction with the activity sets themselves scores the highest , followed by the perceived benefits received , both at a high level. The results suggest that the activity sets made learning more enjoyable and engaging for students, stimulated their interest in reading, encouraged them to ask more questions, and have the potential to be applied effectively in similar educational contexts.
