SMA/MA students should be able to use the language in informational level that is expected to access knowledge by the language skills. This objective is basically the same as comprehension of reading texts where the students are faced with the text written in English then they are hoped to read it in order to gather information from it. In this case, students use skill of reading in order to understand the written text. In other words, they access knowledge by reading skill.
To get the knowledge from the text, it is important for students to have a good reading comprehension. Without comprehension, reading would be empty and meaningless. Comprehension is not only intended to know what the letters stand for, but also involved power of fully understanding. Reading involves more than words recognition; that without comprehension, no reading takes place. It means that comprehension determines the essence of the reading process.
Reading comprehension requires motivation, mental frameworks for holding the ideas, concentration and good study techniques. There are many ways to be good at reading such as the readers should know the purpose in reading, they also should have awareness of type of the material they are reading, and kinds of learning strategies can also be used in reading that can help them in comprehending the reading text?????????????????.
