Summary

Introduction

Reading is considered as a relaxing activity for some people if it is done because of interest for pleasure. Pujiono (2012) revealed that reading activities are language skills that aim to understand ideas, thought, and messages in the text that the author wishes to convey through words or written language. The process carried out in an integrated manner in reading includes several activities, such as recognizing letters and words, linking them with sounds and their meanings, and drawing conclusions about the purpose of reading (Harsono, et al, 2012). Reading is a complicated process because it involves several activities, including visual, thinking, and meta cognitive activities. Reading is an activity to get meaning from what is written in the text For this purpose, besides the needs to master the language used, a reader needs to activate various mental processes in his cognitive system (Sandy, 2013). Thinking processes that involve their own cognitive processes are included in meta cognitive skills (Rosyida, et al, 2016)
