The purpose of this study was to improve the poetry reading skills of 10th grade science students at SMA Negeri 8 Sarolangun in the even semester of the 2022-2023 academic year through the Observe, Imitate, and Modify learning model using video media. This study was designed with a classroom action research design. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle has four stages, namely 1) implementation planning, 2) action implementation, 3) observation, 4) reflection. The subjects of this study were 10th grade science students at SMA Negeri 8 Sarolangun. The research focused on problems related to the low poetry reading skills of students. The data in this study were obtained through observation, interviews, tests of students' poetry reading skills, and documentation. The data were analyzed by data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results obtained are the percentage of achievement indicators of poetry reading skills which have increased in each cycle. The average ability of students in discussing before implementing the action is categorized as less. After implementing the action for two cycles, the average ability of students in reading poetry is categorized as very good. The results showed that there was an increase in skills in reading poetry. It was proven during the first cycle of action with an average score of 6.72, and at the end of the implementation of the action, namely the second cycle, the average score was 8.48. Thus, the skills of students in reading poetry have increased by 1.76.
