A. Background

Reading is one of important skills in learning English, reading skills as a far of receptive skills is given the first priority in the language curriculum. Reading is important because it can help the students to gain information such as general knowledge, subject of school. Through reading people can improve their own knowledge which is needed to insure the continuing personal growth and adapt the change in the world. Harvey (1990) argues that the purpose of reading in language is inform our selves about something, we are interested in, or challenges our knowledge on certain matters. In other word, to broaden experience of the world in which we live.

Reading for comprehension is not of course an easy task, especially for senior high school students. Hence, students must posses interpretation ability to the meaning of the words, expression, sentences. Clark and Hanlan assert “sentences is a letter consisting of an address and messages”. Comprehension is much needed to catch the meaning of the text or written information. In other word, students cannot get the purposes or messages of author without comprehension properly, if students read without understanding, they will get nothing from this reading. The comprehension of this case means the ability of students to divine, paraphrase, explain, summarize, make prediction, or catch the meaning of the written information. Based on the statement the writer can conclude that to find ideas of the certain text the students must have ability that link it on it.
