Abstract. The scholar's capability to understand English the fact veritably
low in Indonesia. Not only among newcomers similar as the basic or less
high academy degree but the capability to understand introductory reading
at the high academy position is inversely worrisome. This has led to a lack
of further good mortal resources in recent times. For a long time, we've
known that English is a foreign language and unexpectedly indeed
introductory reading can not be learned at this position. Not to mention
that the after generation of Z has made this language a language that's used
every day on every occasion. Not only studying and looking for work, this
language and the language used in chatting and it's heartbreaking if the
scholars' understanding capability is still veritably low. Several factors
greatly impact this disability. The first is the lack of words that they've in
interpreting the textbook, the second is the lack of training of the textbook
to be read either at home or the academy library and the third is the lack
of attention of the subject preceptors in the proper wisdom of each scholar
who practices at the academy. There is no revealing provocation to make
scholars uncommunicative and assume that reading is boring
conditioning. Let alone reading foreign readings, reading textbooks in
Indonesian itself, indeed lazy to read because of a lack of mindfulness of
the significance of reading conditioning. Reading this is to help scholars
get the right understanding of important knowledge, and increase their
love of reading, and most importantly how do preceptors realize the most
applicable strategies in tutoring and literacy handed the schoolteacher
knows the background of each scholar.
Keywords: Reading Strategy, Comprehension, English Education
INTRODUCTION
Reading is a cognitive exercise carried out to gain information. Reading can be interpreted
as an exertion of reciting, spelling, sounding symbols, the basics to terms to findings that have
meaning.
D. P Tampubolon (1987) argues that reading is defined as allowing so that understanding
written language with the reading system becomes a logical process. Book reading conditioning
includes introductory experience. Where introductory reading experience corresponds to 3
basics, videlicet recording ( associating sounds that are in sync with the reading system),
decoding (the process of rephrasing what's read), and meaning ( feting words interpretatively,
evaluatively, and creatively).
Meanwhile, Nurhadi (2008) argues that the meaning of reading is a veritably complex
process and involves numerous factors. For illustration, it involves internal factors and external
factors of the compilation himself. Factors that have internal factors correspond to interests,
intelligence, gift, reading ideas, and provocation. While the external factors of compilations are
determined by socioeconomic background, reading installations, and reading traditions. Of these
2 factors alone, if combined, it'll come to a veritably complex value and can not stand alone of
course.

This is because reading chops play an important part in colorful aspects of life similar to
politics, transnational relations, social relations, economics, wisdom, and technology. And any
job in this world requires a good understanding of what they are studying and reading, be it labor
work or high paying jobs. In addition, reading is the main shaft of educational media. Those who
can understand reading better will be suitable to increase their knowledge and ameliorate their
capacities, empowering mortal coffers indeed more.
Aulia Tisni A and Celly Casuarina Y’s (2017) QAR strategy in the experimental class
improve scholars' reading capability agreement and statistical analysis revealed that there is a
significant difference between the trials class performance and control class performance in posttest. This happens because the Question-Answer Relationship strategy (QAR) emphasizes
helping scholars understand the handbook by giving instruction. In addition, scholars also get
more critical suppose in reading the textbook through making conditioning relationship between
question and answer.
Hulya K (2012) The conclusions of the reading knowledge scale and my individualized
experience indicated that there was a lack of knowledge in the area of reading strategies in my
scholars at the launch of the study. The scholars have lower knowledge and practice in reading
strategies but after studying systematically, there's an increase in their success.
Fitri N (2021) The use of reading appreciation strategies in the tutoring and literacy
process. The schoolteacher explains that scholars do not only read the textbook but also answer
questions from the textbook so that scholars can more understand and the moral value of the
reading textbook, and the operation of reading appreciation strategies can help upgrade scholars'
capacities. Both preceptors agree with this statement because applying schoolteacher strategies
can help scholars to upgrade their capability in reading appreciation and can also affect pupil
exertion.
Tutoring reading in the Indonesian class is integrated with other language chops and
factors similar as jotting, speaking, harkening, alphabet, pronunciation, and vocabulary. In
tutoring English in the classroom, the time allocation for reading is indeed lesser than others.
Proper tutoring, will affect pupil achievement. In addition, numerous preceptors don't use
tutoring media in their reading classes. However, their media isn't intriguing and doesn't help
scholars to understand the content of the reading, If they've used it. Another factor that makes it
delicate for scholars to read is a veritably low mastery of the alphabet and words. Scholars can
not understand the reading textbook because of grammatical particulars. The judgment structure
in the textbook is frequently delicate for scholars to reach.
Scholars will be suitable to read and understand reading textbooks easily if they can
prognosticate what they will read. Unfortunately, in ultramodern times like the moment, we
infrequently find teenagers who like to read. Utmost of them prefer to play games, play the
internet to play social media, hang out with musketeers, or just go for a useless walk with
musketeers outside the house. Still, some of them inseminate a station and love to read, for
illustration reading novels. It does not count as long as they can still take advantage of their free
time by doing useful effects. Like reading or studying.
But in the reality, and immature people's interest in reading is presently truly low.
Numerous factors beget a low interest in reading in adolescents. One of them is because of
technological developments. For this reason, it's necessary to do colorful ways to overcome this
problem. This can be done through the academic terrain or by the scholars themselves.
Thus, we as preceptors were assigned to introduce the Reading the program to scholars,
explaining that a broad reading helps them learn new English vocabulary and upgrade their line,
spelling, and ABC experience indeed when their reading isn't delicate. the schedule informal
literature exchanges, so scholars can partake in their favorite books and talk about their favorite
authors. This strategy will help scholars to motivate scholars to read. This will help scholars in
presenting their players in the class.

METHOD
In this study, we as researchers collected data through the check system because it only
concentrated on training and learning English exertion in seminaries. The data collection fashion
we used was a questionnaire and the results were generalizations. The instructors filled out the
questionnaire after making obediences throughout their history in the training and knowledge
process. The variables we use are dynamic, presenting data as fluently as possible without any
manipulation. The design that we did only go through one stage, videlicet to 10 instructors who
educate English at the high academe position.
Ten (10) teachers are actors from various schools in Medan City, North Sumatra, Indonesia
with an unidentified age ( arbitrary). Given the outbreak of COVID-19 and the performance of
PPKM in the municipality of Medan, we only made these obediences to instructors and indeed
also through the operation online to maintain government regulations and stop the transmission
of the contagion. Taking into account all the being conditions and the regulations contained in the
Instruction of the Governor of North SumatraNo.188.54/ 34/ INST/ 2021 concerning the
performance of PPKM position 4 in Medan City to apply remote training and knowledge exertion
and gratuitous sector exertion Work From Home (WFH) which must be executed 100.
And by considering the important goods over without reducing the effectiveness and
delicacy of our disquisition, we decided to only observe instructors through a questionnaire
instrument that was filled out predicated on experience and history throughout the training and
knowledge exertion of each English teacher. We present 10 questions in English which of course
must be filled in by several English instructors, who are presently training English assignments
at the high academe position in Medan City. Previously, we did not determine how old each of
our actors was and how long he would tutor as a teacher, and how long they had tutored at the
academe.
From the 10 question handbooks of the questionnaire we collected in 1 google form link
which we distributed via WA, and they also helped distribute it in the English teacher group at
the academe where they educate. The questions we ask include 3 important corridors, videlicet
The Preparation, The Practice, and The Evaluation. For illustration, what media do they generally
use to read, the reading system they use almost constantly in training, and so on? Consists of 5
multiple choice questions, and 5 text essays. These questions include what strategies are most
used by instructors in training reading and which strategies are most successful in pressing their
reading appreciation chops, as well as which strategies can increase their interest in reading. We
created 10 questions taking into account what aspects were most applicable to our disquisition.
While conducting this disquisition, we assured that we transferred as multitudinous links
to our questionnaire as possible to various seminaries for the delicacy of our disquisition results.
We realized that the weakness of this study could not be headed exactly on the 10 instructors we
chose, because some of them forgot to fill out this questionnaire, so we took the step of spreading
the link as much as possible and concluding for 10 of our actors' answers and also drawing
conclusions from the results of 10 questions. A questionnaire on strategies for training English
reading at the high academe position.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The lack of interest in reading for moment's scholars can affect unborn generations. Thus,
the experimenter conducted a study of 10 high academy preceptors to find out how to educate
them how to educate reading. There are also exploration results of experimenters are as follows:

The Practice
At this stage, the teacher must make reading practices. Here the teachers must be able to
determine the method in reading comprehension and determine what method is most
appropriate to be taught so that students are interested in reading enthusiastically.

We can see from the results of the research above that the most frequently used methods in
teaching reading comprehension are the Contextual Teaching And Learning Method and the
Combination method, which is 39%. Then followed by the Direct method as much as 20% and
the last one is the Grammar translation method which is 2% of the number of people studied.
The Evaluation
At this evaluation stage, the teacher can review the performance that has been obtained
from the previously selected methods. And here the teachers can correct the mistakes that occur
so that they don't happen again in the next meeting. Errors can make students less interested in
reading.

Figure 1: evaluate students' reading competence at each meeting.
The data above shows that the average teacher evaluates after carrying out learning. The
benefits of the results of this study are:
1. To find out what are the ways to increase reading interest in the students.
2. To find out whether students' reading comprehension can increase students' knowledge at
school
3. To find out what strategy is most appropriate for high school students.
CONCLUSION
From the investigation, we've done we conclude that:
1. The Preparation shows that there needs to be readiness between scholars and preceptors
before the tutoring and the literacy process takes a place. The way to increase they intend to
use a variety of media in reading and not only concentrate on the media which is also boring.
Although text reading attained 64.7 results for the most extensively used accouterments/
media, we also can not deny that other media (other media) attained 23.5, which is a fairly
rapid-fire number that can not be ruled out. So other media are veritably important to increase
the compilation's intention in understanding the contents of the reading.
2. Reading appreciation is still number one in perfecting scholars' knowledge, piecemeal
because reading media is easier to gain and use. All seminaries in Indonesia still use books
that are the number one source of knowledge that applies in Indonesia and can still be a
source of knowledge, with a note that colorful strategies and other media are demanded.
3. Of course, by paying attention to the media and what strategies are most suitable for use, one
academy differs from another. But we know that the results over show that reading books
still get a fairly high chance, seeing that reading books are the easiest and most common
medium we see in seminaries. Still, the instructors' suggestions above easily say that they
also need other media to increase scholars' interest and focus.
