The research sample was 26 ninth grade students of SMP Agus Salim Semarang. The research instrument is a test. There are two types of tests given, namely pre-test and post-test. After collecting the data, there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of imperative sentences on students before and after being given treatment using procedure text in English recipe books. The pre-test average score was 45.77 including the failed category and the post-test average score was 84.04 very good. The t-test result is 43 and the t-table value (5%; df=26) is 2.06. Thus, the t value is higher than the critical table value (43 > 2.06). To see whether there was a significant difference between the teaching methods using English recipe books before and after, the researcher conducted a t-test. The t-test value is determined through calculations using the t-test formula. The result is 43. Meanwhile, 2.06 is the critical number in the t table for the 5 percent alpha level and df = 25. 43 is the t value obtained. As a result, the value of t (43 > 2.06) is higher than the table's critical threshold. That is the success of students in the effectiveness of command sentences to improve reading of procedure texts.
