In this study, the researcher used in Indonesian KKM (kriteria ketuntasan minimal) at SMPN 1 Banjarharjo with the criteria for the KKM score of 75. Based on the results of the pre-test reading comprehension of students before being taught using the Showdown strategy, 8.82% met the KKM criteria, and the results of the pre-test reading comprehension of students after being taught using the Showdown strategy were 76,47% fulfilling the KKM criteria. Furthermore, the researchers also used the N-Gain formula to determine the effectiveness of the showdown strategy implementation. The results of the N-Gain calculation obtained a mean value of 68.3333.
