There are four playing skills in English : those are reading , listening, speaking , and writing . Reading and listening are called receptive skills , in the which people need the ability to receive written or spoken language when they do it .While speaking and writing skills are called productive Because when people do it , they need the ability to produce written or spoken language ( Harmer , 1998: 44 ) .Reading, the which belongs to a receptive skill , can be defined as a process whereby one looks at and understands what has been written ( Williams , 1999: 2 ) . It means that , when someone reads , he looks at something written and Tries to get the meaning to understand it . Reading can also be described as a mental or cognitive process in the which involves a reader trying to follow and respond to a message from a writer , who is distant in space and time ( Davies , 1995: 1 ) . It means reading activity that connects the reader and the writer although they are in different time and place ; for example reading an ancient book , reading a personal letter , et cetera .The reason for teaching reading to the students is Because It belongs to the basic language skills in English , just as important as speaking, listening , and writing . Besides , reading is closely related with other subjects . Most of the materials given by the teacher ( in English or other subjects ) are presented in written form , for example in handbook , handouts , et cetera . It means that to understand the materials , the students must have the ability to look at and get the meaning of written text , that is called reading skills . Because of that , reading is very important to be taught to the students .According to the researcher 's observation , the students ' reading skills of SMAN X was still low .
