INTRODUCTION
government will implement a policy in the educational system, with reading being
one of the four components. Language skills, particularly for students with
disabilities, must be taught in the classroom. Students in their senior year of high
school. Students benefit from reading instruction and learning and are expected to
understand the reading passages they read well. This is the case in line to read
instruction in Senior High School, improving students' reading skills so that they can
effectively and efficiently read and comprehend English texts (Curriculum 2006).

Reading is a fundamental study skill (Nurhana, 2013). It is a prerequisite
that needs to be mastered by anyone for him to properly progress in the academic
realm. Being able to read plays a vital role in the learning process of every child
since it enables him to extract meaning from the written text being read (Anderson
Reading is also the most difficult skill to teach in English because reading is
to grasp the meaning and information in print and script within a social context.
Reading ability is a set of abilities that allow the reader to read the written form as
that reading necessitates the use of a variety of thinking skills sense of texts. In this
case, reading can also be considered "interactive." A process that occurs between a
reader and a text result in automaticity or reading fluency (Alyousef, 2005). It implies
that in the interactive process in which the reader guesses, predicts, and attempts to
understand the meaning of the text. Good reading skills are required as part of
language learning. Because good reading proficiency implies the reader's ability to
accurately and efficiently comprehend written statements or any type of written text

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
One of the linguistic skills that pupils need to develop is reading. It is not
just a straightforward exercise in which the pupils simply decode the text.
Additionally, they must process the information included in the text. To suggest
that one can read requires comprehension as well. Reading is regarded as the most
important language skill to master since it improves pupils' quality of life. Many
social activities and roles in society require reading, so not being able to read puts
one at a disadvantage. Reading helps pupils become more proficient in other areas
Bilbao, et.al. (2016) stated in their study that reading comprehension is one of the
reading competencies that every student has to develop. However, there are
Still, students who are below the proficiency level of reading comprehension despite
the reading instructions and strategies provided by the teachers for the
