---

Reading comprehension is one of the essential skills in learning English because it enables students to understand and interpret written texts effectively. However, many students still struggle to comprehend texts, especially when they encounter unfamiliar vocabulary or complex sentence structures. The fix-up strategy is a technique used by teachers to assist students who are having difficulty comprehending a text. The first objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the Fix-Up strategy on students’ motivation in reading comprehension of report text among 9th-grade students at SMPN 5 Magelang. The second objective was to examine the extent to which the Fix-Up strategy improves the report text reading comprehension of 9th-grade students at SMPN 5 Magelang. The study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the research design and was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 30 students of class IX G, and the data were collected using reading comprehension tests, observations, and questionnaires. The qualitative data were analysed using a qualitative analysis technique from Miles et al., and the quantitative data were analyzed by averaging the test results. The findings showed improvements in students’ motivation in learning and reading comprehension of the report text. The results of the observations and questionnaires indicated that students became more active, cooperative, and motivated in reading activities. They also showed greater confidence in answering questions and completing reading tasks within the given time. In addition, the average score of the students’ reading tests improved from 64.17 in the Pre-Cycle (“fair” category) to 76.83 in Cycle II (“good” category), which met the performance indicator. The percentage of students who achieved the minimum mastery criterion also improved from 30% in the Pre-Cycle to 76.67% in Cycle II. In conclusion, the use of the Fix-Up strategy was effective in improving students’ learning motivation in reading a report text. In addition, students’ reading comprehension of the report text also improved. The Fix-Up strategy helped students overcome difficulties, especially in dealing with unfamiliar vocabulary and comprehending texts. The study suggests that the Fix-Up strategy can be an alternative strategy for English teachers to foster students’ engagement and improve their reading comprehension in the classroom.
