 1. Introduction 

     Reading is a communication tool and is the foundation of any other part of language. Students should be taught in reading comprehension. They need read more besides their own  reading materials in their texts. Whether reading texts or after-class materials, students may  come across many new words and phrases, and thus can improve their spoken language skills and writing abilities. Reading also requires our knowledge and experience. Reading comprehension is the further research of the meaning of texts. Such meaning emerges from the interaction between reader and text, between the knowledge, skill and motivation of the reader and the text which has a specific intention, structure and degree of difficulty. Richard et al. define “Reading Comprehension” as “the whole understanding resulting from a written text”. There are different types of reading comprehension according to the reader’s purpose in reading: literal comprehension, inferential comprehension, critical comprehension and appreciative comprehension”.
