Known as one of the receptive performance reading holds an important role in English language teaching. However in some cases reading can be really boring for students. During the preliminary study conducted on April 17th 2018 in XI Lintas Minat class of SMAN 1 Lawang I had an interview with the English teacher and the teacher conveyed that the students still need improvement in reading English texts because they were not accustomed to read English. In the pre-test the students were assigned to read narrative text (short stories) and according to the result of the pre-test 55% of the students achieved below the standard score (75) and 45% of the students got more than 75. These scores were taken from 30 XI Lintas Minat Class students that become the population of the study. The percentage of the score indicates that the students in XI Lintas Minat class need to improve their reading comprehension.
