This study uses the type of Pre-Experimental Design research with the One Group Pretest Posttest Design model. In this study, the sample consisted of the entire population of class 2 SD 3 Jekulo. Data collection uses tests namely pretest and posttest.

The results of this study indicate that: (1) think Pair Share strategy has three stages of implementation namely,Think (think),Pair (in pairs), and Share (share). Implementation Think Pair Share Strategy said to be effective because of the average difference between the pretest and posttest scores students before and after the implementation of the Think Pair Share (TPS) strategy on the reading ability of 2nd grade students at SD 3 Jekulo, (2) the average N-Gain score is 0.64 with a percentage of the N-Gain score getting 64% which shows the interpretation of the effectiveness of the Think Pair Share (TPS) strategy in improving students' reading skills can be categorized as quite effective. Therefore, there is effectiveness in implementing the Think Pair Share (TPS) strategy to improve the reading skills of grade 2 students at SD 3 Jekulo
