observation process was conducted before and during the implementation of the action. The data of observation was collected by observing the teaching and
learning process in the classroom.The forms of the data were field notes. Besides, the quantitative data was in the form of reading test. The
instruments used in the reading were test pre-test and post-test in the form of multiple choices. The reading test was conducted as a part of the monitoring
sequences in the research. To measure the improvement of students‟ reading
