The quantitative method with a quasi-experimental posttest only control group design. The data was analyzed using statistical and inferential analysis through SPSS to get the score. Therefore, the student’s score was used to compare those two groups’ reading skills.

The collection of data was being collected through a post-test. The result of the study showed that the score of the group who received treatment in this study had significant differences compared with the group who did not use PowToon in the learning process. Furthermore, the data collection was tested using an independent sample t-test in order to know whether the use of PowToon has a significant effect or not. After conducting the test, the result showed that the sig. (2-tailed) was smaller than the alpha level (α = 0.05) in which the result of the test was sig. (2-tailed) 0.000.
