Theoretical Framework
2.1 What is reading?

Reading skill is one of four language skills in English beside listening, speaking, and writing.
Reading ability is needed by the students for facing both local and national tests of English tested in
written form, so that teaching reading should be learned earlier since Kindergarten until the higher
education level. According to Kennedy (1981:5) reading is the ability of an individual recognizing a
visual form to associate the form with the sound and/or meaning acquired in the past, and, on the past
experience, understand and interpret its meaning. Based on the explanation, reading is an individual
ability in understanding and finding the message written by the author.

Reading is one of the important skills in English and it gives many benefits for us. Reading is the
window of the world. By reading, people can get more knowledge and information from books,
magazines, newspapers, and others. Reading is the most important component in learning process
and social interaction because, first, reading is an indispensable communication tool in a civilized
society. Second, that the reading materials produced in any period of time in history most influenced
by social background. Third, developments, that over the period of the recorded history of reading
has led to two very different poles. (Grey in Tarigan, (1957:1099).
