This study aimed to describe the effect of implementing the R2L learning model on improving students' writing narrative text skills. The researcher identified the research sample, namely the 7th-grade students of SMPN 13 Padang, totaling 28 students. The researcher collected data by processing the pre-test results from the representations obtained before applying the R2L model and the post-test results obtained after applying the R2L model. The data were analyzed using the Paired T-Test parametric analysis method. The results found are that the Reading to Learn (R2L)-based HOTS learning model can improve students' writing skills and have a significant effect. This is in line with the data found in the field, namely the pretest-posttest results with a value of tcount=-9.682<ttable=-2,052.
