It has been an international language which plays an important role in developing the relationship between the countries to the other countries in the world. Knowing the importance of English in the world today, students need to be sufficiently equipped with English communication As one of the English language skills, reading is a very important skill in learning English because without a good reading skill, one cannot obtain many kinds of information printed in the form of media such as bulletin, magazine or newspaper (Koda, 2005).
Moreover, students in countries where English is taught as a foreign language usually prefer focussing on information in written form rather than oral. Therefore, in countries posing English as a foreign language, such as Indonesia, one can absorb more knowledge by reading. Richards (2008:11) states that reading as a cognitive process which includes serious academic reading, reading the comics, scanning the television listings for favourite program, skimming a magazine article to find out whether it merits close attention, settling into a new novel by favourite author, absorbing the subtitles as watch the movie in a foreign language, and glancing at notes a give speech.
Alderson (2000) defines reading as an enjoyable, intense, private activity, from which much pleasure can be derived, and in which one can become totally absorbed. Additionally, Nunan (2003) states that reading is fluent process of readers combining information from a text and their own background knowledge to build meaning. However reading always has a purpose. It is something that we do every day, it is an integral part of our daily lives, taken very much for granted and generally assumed something that everyone can do.
