The main discussion of the study is the implementation of multiple intelligences strategies to improve the students’ motivation on reading comprehension. This chapter gives the relevant theories related to that concern of the study.

2.1 Review of Previous Study

The description of previous studies findings that support the study are as following: First, a research was done by Utami 2012 with her study entitled “The Use of Comic “Naruto” to Improve Reading Comprehension An Action Research to The Sixth Graders of SDN 01 Sekaran in Academic Year 20112012 ”. She concluded that teaching of reading comprehension by using comic “Naruto” can be applied to increase the students’ interest in reading. In my opinion, teaching by using comic as media can interest the young learners because of it is a kind of visual aid. Second, Yuniawati 2011 with her study entitled “Improving the Students’ Reading Comprehension through Authentic Text An Action Research to The Tenth Grade of SMA N 14 Semarang in Academic Year 20102011 ”. She concluded that authentic text can be used as supporting material in teaching 7 reading comprehension. It also describes how the use of authentic text could change the habit of the students in reading comprehension and could improve the students reading comprehension. According to my opinion, it can be stated that authentic text is good material for teaching reading because the text is up to date so the students will interest to read the text. Third, Kusumaningrum 2010 with the study entitled “The Use of Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recite, Test PQRST technique in Teaching Reading Comprehension of News Item Text A Case Study of Grade X Students of SMA N 2 Ungaran in Academic Year 2009-2010 ”. The aims of the study were to explain the implementation of PQRST technique to teach news items text and to explain on what extent the use of PQRST technique to improve the reading comprehension. Fourth, Purnaningsih 2008 with her study entitled “The Effectiveness of Jigsaw Technique to Teaching Reading The Case Study of Fifth Graders of SDN Ngadirejo 03 Mijen, Semarang in Academic Year 2007-2008 ”. She concluded that there is significant difference of study reading achievement between those who were taught using Jigsaw technique and those who were taught using regular technique. In my opinion, Jigsaw is an effective technique to teach reading because she was able to show the improvement of the students’ achievement in reading using this technique. All of the previous studies discussed about the way to get the better reading achievement. However, in learning process, it should be not only underscores the importance the students’ growth in conceptual knowledge but also the students’ motivation in learning. Therefore, in this research, I would use the Multiple Intelligences strategies to motivate the students to read that have not been raised in the previous research yet.
