English is one of the International languages, which is used by the majority of people in the world. The students had difficulties in studying English since it is the foreign language for them, for example, the students at eighth grade students of SMP PGRI 01 Pakisaji Malang. Based on result of the preliminary study, it was found that students spend much time to understand the text given by the teacher. Although for a simple text, the students confessed that it was still difficult. They read the text word by word and also the students had bad habits in reading such as: lip movements, sub- vocal reading, finger pointing, and head movement. This activity took a lot of time. For the reason, the problem needs to be solved. In this study, the researcher used a speed reading technique to improve the students’ reading skill. In addition, the students’ and the teachers’ opinion were explored to understand whether the use of this technique was also able to motivate the students and make the teaching and learning process interesting. The researcher used classroom action research and applied two cycles. The researcher chose recount text which was suitable with the material.
