Introduction

Reading is defined as a number of interactive process between the reader and the text in which
the reader uses the knowledge to interpret something that is written or printed (Hornby, 2005).

Reading is about understanding written texts. It involves both perception and thought. It's also
an interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text, resulting in
comprehending the text present letter, woeds, sentences and paragraph that encode meaning.
The readeruses knowledge, skills which has to be mastered, because by reding, the students
can understand what the writer informs to the reader, (Pang at al; 2003). Reading inabilitie is
caused by failure to gain skills in alphabetical coding, (Mando, 2008).

The situation of reading inability for university english students accoding to Mule (2012), is
campaigned by lack of reding materials available to the learners. In order as solution for that
problem, the students have to practice reading a lot and use certain strategies. The students
ability to read the text depends on their ability on using the strategies such as: skimming,
scanning, extensive reading, intensive reading or in depth reading to understand what the
writer says, (Idem, 1982).

skimming is a technique in which the reader uses to gain the general overveiw about the text;

Scanning is a technique in which the reader can also use to look for specific information in the
text;

Intensive reading or in depth is a technique used by reader to gain the weakness and strenght
of writer, ( Nuttal, 1982).
