ACKNOWLEGDEMENT In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allah. First of all I would like to express my praises and thanks to Allah the Almighty, the Lord of universe who has conferred me enthusiasm, patient, health, inspiration and chance to finish this bok. My greeting, prayer and love are also presented to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who has shown us directions to the straight path, and full of knowledge. Reading process begins with a series of expectations, guesses, or hypotheses about the subject to read which are confirmed, modified or discarded while reading takes place. Reading as a thinking process, making a wide use of intellectual abilities that readers may already posses in their mother tongue. By reading, a reader will know a writer’s feeling and messages, and it can increase knowledge. While reading, a reader is not only finding meaning of difficult words, knowing meaning and grammatical features of the reading, but also having deeply comprehension. Through reading, one can enhance his experience, develop new concept, solve his problem, and broaden his horizon of thinking, which are needed to ensure continuing personal growth and adopt the change in the world. In reading comprehension, the message to be imposed in the written form is the most important element that the students must recognize, because the primary purpose of reading is to know the thoughts expressed in the printed material. Therefore, reading with comprehension is only a way for the readers to arrive at what they want to know from the reading material. However, the problem is how to make them comprehend. Comprehending a reading is not as easy as flipping one’s hand over. It needs practice, patience, and curiosity.
