For teachers The teacher should use more creative and various media in teaching
reading in class. The teachers should master the material that will be taught to the class so that they can choose the best media to teach the
material. One of media that is widely available but often to be used is
picture. In addition, teacher should encourage the students to imagine what they are reading. The teacher should give more chance to their students in
order to make them more creative and active in the class activity. So, by using pictures, students will not be burdened with the text they are going
to read.
For students
Students should look for unfamiliar words contextually and should not be depend on the dictionary while reading text because it hinders them in
comprehending text.
For further research
This study, of course, is needed to be completed. It is only one of study that proves that pictures can be a useful media in reading text. In addition,
the writer hopes that this study can be added and completed from different perspective, ideas and views in order to give more contribution in different
