Summary
Learning the skills of reading as a college subject must be supported by the availability of teaching materials. The development of teaching materials is very important because the conditions in the field show that teaching materials that support the learning process of reading courses are still very limited. This condition is happening in the Department of Indonesian Language Education and Literature, Gorontalo. The use of books and the selection of teaching materials to read not through the proper procedures. The design of syllabus and reading teaching materials that are being used are not in accordance with the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI). The availability of reading materials helps students greatly in understanding the learning materials and to improve their understanding of each reading material. Grellet (1981: 11) argues that teaching materials build student belief and confidence
