The aim of this study was to prove whether the implementation of PARTS Strategy and the students' anxiety gave a significant effect to the students' reading competency. The study was an experimental study by applying Post test only control group design. The population was nine classes (420 students) of grade XI in SMA Negeri 5 Denpasar academic year 2012/2013, in which 2 classes were samples which were assigned into two groups, i.e. experimental group and control group, by a Multi-Stage Random Sampling. The research data were collected through questionnaire and test that were analyzed using Statistical Two-Way Anova. The results show that, first, there was different effect in reading competency between the students who were taught by implementing PARTS strategy and those who were taught by implementing Conventional reading startegy (Sig.=0.004 < α =0.05). Secondly, there was not interactional effect of PARTS strategy and anxiety level upon the students' reading competency at the eleventh grade students of SMA negeri 5 Denpasar (Sig.=0.966 > α =0.05). In view of the results of this study, it is therefore suggested that teachers should use PARTS Strategy as an innovative teaching strategy since the facilitation of this strategy significantly improved the students' reading competency.
