Reading as a whole, is a means of communication and of information and ideas Panerio, (2008). In other words, comprehension is the purpose of reading, and reading without comprehension is not reading but only sounding words (Mirizon, et al., 2017). Reading comprehension has always been the problem in every school. This is one of the factors which affects the reading performance of the pupils. Looking for its extent, is the purpose of conducting this study.
