. Reading is the most important foreign language skill, because the other skills like listening, speaking and
writing involving reading as their part of activity. Reading also means as dealing with language messages in written or printed
form
2
or it can be stated that reading is the ability to draw meaning from the printed page and can be interpreted the information from the texts appropriately. The best
way to understand reading is see it as a process of active guessing and understanding the texts in which the readers use some clues to understand the text. Harmer also
stated on his book,
üýþ
to T
ea ch
ÿ
ish , reading is useful for other purposes too:
any exposure to English provided students understand it more or less is a good thing for English students .
3
From that definition, it can be concluded that reading is the process of people to learn and to get knowledge by understanding of the text or
printed words, in written form and have many purposes which related with other skill in English.

2. Definition of Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension is the way of readers in getting information from the text relatively. Not all readers are capable to comprehend the text quickly, that ability
normally taken by fluent readers because they usually have the habit of reading. According to Susan E. Israel and Gerald G. Duffy Reading comprehension is only a
subset of an ill-defined larger set of knowledge that reflects the communicative interaction among the intentions of the authorthe speaker, the content textmessage,
the abilities and purpose of the readerlistener, and the contextsituation of the interaction .
4
This ability makes the students construct meaning from a given written text. It is not a static competency, because it depends on the purpose of reading and
the text is involved. It means that the purpose of reading the kinds of the text is related each other. When we read a text, the ability to identify the idea of the text is
the important point after we know the topic of that text. After read the text, the readers hopefully know what the text means because reading comprehension is a
process of connecting the topic of the text to student s prior knowledge.
5
The process of comprehension is like making a cake, that mental process in achieving something and to check that a step has not been missed. To comprehend the
text of reading, the students must be able to predict the text. Although they do not know the vocabulary, but it is hoped they know the key of the text. Some processes
happen when you are reading, as you read your brain tells your eyes what to look in order to make connections. To be successful in reading comprehension, students need
to actively comprehend what they read. It means that the readers must be able to decode the words or recognize words from the text that they read.
6
In conclusion, reading comprehension is the ability to comprehend the meaning of the text with a set
of knowledge which reflect communicative interaction which including a good

mental process. It also needs a good reading skill to reach the ability of understanding the texts to identify and decode the idea of the text.
3. Kinds of Reading
Studying about reading cannot be separated by kinds of reading. Because reading skill is trained by studying some texts to get the detail information; short
texts, longer texts and complete books. There are two kinds of reading, extensive reading and intensive reading.
a. Extensive Reading
Extensive reading is a form of learning form meaning focused input. Extensive reading is one kinds of reading with one of the function is to find
the general information without any helping from some sources such as dictionary or others. In extensive reading, reading is a source of learning and a
source of enjoyment. It can be a goal in its own right and a way of reaching others goal. Extensive reading provides the conditions for fluency
development of a course depending on the level of the books that the learners read.
Extensive reading generally involves rapid reading of the large quantities of material or longer reading to understand the whole book. The
function of extensive reading is to take general understanding of the text. The reader has to read and understand the content for the meaning.
b. Intensive Reading
Intensive reading is the activity of intensive study of the texts that can increase learners knowledge of language features and their control of reading
strategy. Intensive reading focuses on comprehension of particular text and it will be useful when reading other texts. It is also called as aclose reading
means that when a reader read a short passage heshe must give all the attention into vocabulary, reading text, and organization. According to
Nuttall the aim of intensive reading is to arrive at an understanding, not only of the text means, but of how the meaning is produced
7
. In intensive work on a reading text, the how is as important as the
what which can be used by the students to train the strategy that can go on to use with other text. These are the following aspects which influence the
following aspect of intensive reading. 1. Comprehension
In comprehension intensive reading can aim the understanding a particular text.
2. Vocabulary Learners attention can be drawn to useful words, underlying the meaning
and use of these words for later study. 3. Grammar
Difficult grammatical features can be explained and analysed. 4. Cohesion
Learners can practice to interpreting of the text, what pronouns refer to, conjunction relationships between sentences are, and how different words
are used to refer to the same idea. 5. Regular and irregular sound-spelling relations
This can be done by teaching of phonics, spelling rules, and reading aloud. 6. Information structure
Certain texts contain certain kinds of information. Learners can be helped to identify these different kinds of information.
7. Genre features Intensive reading can focus on how the text achieves its communicative
purpose through these features and what this communicative purpose is.

4. The Purpose of Reading
Reading is one of the activities that usually do by people in everywhere and every time. Many people have different purposes when they are reading a text or a
book, it can be for searching information or for reading pleasure. Because of this condition, the purposes of reading are become complex and vary. Many experts have
different idea about definition and explanation of reading. As Jo McDonough and Christopher Shaw in their book quote usefully classifies reading into:
a. Getting general information from the text b. Getting specific information from a text
c. For pleasure or for interest
9
McDonough and Shaw divide the purpose of reading above, getting general it is mean that the reader want to know about the information from that book in
generally. The reader wants to know about all of the important information from that book text. While, getting specific information means that the reader want to know
the detail of the text, to know when or where something happen, to know what is happening or has happened in detail information which written in the text. The last is
reading for pleasure or interest, in this purpose the reader just want to feel relax and for their enjoyment in leisure time.
William Grabe and Fredricka L. Stoller state in their book about the purposes of reading as follows:
a. Reading to search for simple information and reading to skim b. Reading to learn from texts

c. Reading to integrate information, write and critique texts d. Reading for general comprehension
10
The first purpose is as same as with the purpose of reading above that is for search or gets the information. Because most people believe that this is a common
reading ability. It can use scan or skim. Scan is the ability to see the keywords for specific piece of information or a specific word in the text. Same with scan, skim is a
common part of reading task and it is useful skill in reading ability. Skim needs a good combination of strategy in reading also a good basic reading comprehension
skill. The second is reading to learn from texts, it occurs in academic and
professional context. It includes about the main idea, rhetorical frames, and link about the prior knowledge of the reader itself. The third is reading to integrated information,
write and critique texts. This purpose require critical evaluation of the information which being read, so the reader can integrate the information for the reader s goal.
Meanwhile reading to write and critique text need ability to compose, select, and critique the information from the text. The last is reading for general comprehension,
it is the most basic purpose of reading. This ability usually occurs automatically by fluent reader.
Francoise Grellet said in her book that the reasons for purpose of reading are reading for pleasure and reading for information in order to find out something or in
order to do something with the information you get.
11
Reading become the activity to spending leisure time and also gets the information from the text after we read it.
In generally the idea of purpose of reading by some experts above have similarity. They agree that the first and the basic purpose of reading are to get
information and general comprehension from the text, which can use scan and skim technique. Reading also can be a pleasure activity in leisure time. Based on the

explanation above, we can conclude that the purpose of reading is depending by the readers. It can be established by the readers before doing reading activity.

1. The Understanding of Text
Talking about reading, it cannot be separated with text as the material. Because, for centuries text have the important role in language teaching, especially in
teaching reading. Because reading need text to be read. Based on Floriasti cited by Anderson, text are pieces of written or spoken language created for a particular
purpose and context.
12
That definition tells us that text is not always in written form. It can be spoken text, not always in printed form because it can be a word or as thick
as a book. When the words put together although spoken or written but the meaning is to communicate meaning, the text is created. Reading intent of a text can affect to
the nature of the information that required from text. Text is valuable as units of communication rather than sentences.
13
The text aims at convincing the reader to know the purpose, and giving him information. When we use language for various purposes, numerous of text is
resulted. There were many several of text types, so the text types that were given to the students were various, such as narrative, recount, procedural, functional, and
descriptive. The important thing about text is text should be communicative to convey the meaning. In conclusion, text is a product of language not only about
words or sentence but also convey about the meaning on it because it can be written or spoken.
2. The Understanding of Short Functional Text.
Short Functional Text or factual text is a short text that contains the command, direction, something to do or not to do that can be a prohibition, invitation, Greeting

Cards, short message, shopping list, warning notice, announcement, and others that contain meaning and use in everyday communication. While the essay texts in the
form of descriptive, narrative, recount, report, and the procedure is a lengthy text that can be categorized into Long Functional Text The term is not raw not commonly
used.
14
Short Functional text is a transcription that meant to help the reader to accomplish an everyday task. Based on Halliday and Hasan states, a text can be said
as functional. By functional, it means that language in a text is doing something in a context.
15
Examples of functional text might include a recipe for cooking; directions to a location; a memo notifying of a change in a companys address, or a stores
opening time; a schedule of event times and locations during a seminar; a directory of addresses, phone numbers or e-mail addresses; directions on a test; a menu from a
restaurant; a pamphlet notifying the public of a grand opening, store closing, or a foreclosure; or a how-to manual just to name a few.
Functional text is used for everyday information. Its presents information or ideas and aim to show, tell or persuade the audience.
16
It is called functional because it helps you function in your day-to-day life. For example, if I want to make chocolate
chip cookies, I will read a recipe. If I want to know my friends phone number, I will look in a phone book. If my English teacher gives a test, I will need to read the
directions.
