The overall sample size was thirty students, and the approach utilized was called purposive sampling. This study made use of a multiple-choice questionnaire as its tool. The findings of this study indicate that the pre-test mean score for students was 54.38, but that it increased to 79.06 after the intervention. It is possible to draw the conclusion that the students' reading comprehension increased, and this indicates that using the Cornel Note Taking approach led to an increase in the students' reading comprehension.
