There are four major skills that should be mastered by students in learning English, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing. One of the skills that cannot be neglected is reading skill because the success of their study depends on the greater part of their ability to read. Therefore, reading is essential not only to get the information but also to comprehend the text. There are several texts that are commonly used in teaching reading namely, descriptive text, report text, recount text, and narrative text.

In the Guideline of School-Based (Depdiknas, 2006), it is stated that one of the objectives of teaching reading skill for the first grade SMA is enabling the students to get the main ideas, to answer the questions based on the text, to find supporting ideas and details.
