Summary
Reading is one of the most important language skills at all levels of education. Reading is a demand for students to be able to understand lecture materials. Students gain insight through reading and can develop their own potential while forming a literacy society to be able to compete in the global era. This is what makes language so important to be taught from low-level education to the level of Higher Education. One of the objectives is to equip students with skills in reading or to understand Indonesian language textbooks. Reading comprehension skill for students is very necessary to find out the content of each lecture.
