Sensory images are utilized from five senses while they taste the points described in the text. Sensory images also have the potential to increase readers' enjoyment and memory of their literary experiences. The instrument of this research was used multiple chooise and exercise. The design of this research was used quasi-experimental to measured the strategy by one group pre-test and post-test. The subject of research was class X of first semester 2019/2020 of academic year. The instrument used to measure students’ reading achievement is reading comprehension test which consisted of 10 multiple choices. The data were analyzed by using repeated measure test formula. The result of the computation shows that the average score in pretest was (53.13) and the posttest was (65.00). The test of hypothesis using t-test formula showed that the analysis of the final data obtained t_count= 2,032 and t_table = 1,690 with a significance level of 5%. Because t_count > t_table then Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. The value indicates that the numbers represents the significance. It means that there is a significant difference of students’ achievement in reading ability before and after being taught through sensory images strategy. Therefore, dictation technique is recommended to be used by teachers to improve the students’ reading ability.
