The problem in teaching and learning process is that the students feel that English as one difficult subject. The majority of the students had low motivation and interest. When the students were asked by the teacher to answer questions from the text, many students in a class found difficulties to answer the questions. Consequently, the students did not understand the message of the text and they became bored. The researcher gave questioning to make up their mind to understand in their reading material. Thus, this study was directed to solve practical problem in the process of teaching and learning.

In cycle 1 the researcher found that the mean score of the students who passed in the test was increasing. The mean score of the students was 73.17. However, it is not achieving the criteria of success. So, the researcher did the second cycle. In cycle 2 the researcher found that the mean score of the students was 80.82. From this data the minimum target of the students’ success was achieved and with the result the researcher could stop the research.
