In this research, 29 junior high school students of 8th grade were exposed to two different learning models in their learning activity in excretory system topic. First, Students were introduced to Reading to Learn (R2L) model (1 st and 4 th meeting). R2L model was considered effective to improve students' skills in note making and join a text construction that important to support their literacy by understanding a text. Another learning model, discovery learning, also applied simultaneously with R2L (2 nd and 3 rd meeting). This study aimed to record the teaching learning processes and students' response on this implementation. The results shown that students were able to construct new text by following the R2L syntax., the percentage of learning implementation from 1 st and 4 th meetings obtained an average value of 82.5%, which fall in a good category. As for the 2 nd and 4 th meetings, the percentage was 89.58%, which shows learning is carried out in a very good category. Students responded positively to the implementation of both models. They thought that by learning how to summarize a text using R2L can trained to compose sentences using their own style (81.9%) and help them to understand the topic easier (77.6%). Furthermore, discovery learning could help students to be more active and enthusiastic in learning the topic (81.9%) and make them more curious about the topic (80.2%). This study shown the importance of learning how to summarize a scientific text correctly so it can help students to build their understanding of a particular topic.
