The subject of the research was four students in the third grade of SDN 17 Jawa Gadut Padang. The data obtained was analyzed by using U Mann-Whitney test. The research hypothesis would be accepted if the value of U_calculated > U_table on the significance level 95% or α = 0,05. The result of data analysis indicated that U_calculated (0,5) was bigger than U_table (0) indicating that the hypothesis was accepted.
