INTRODUCTION Reading comprehension as a term highly diverse. In the context of teaching and learning, reading is viewed as a process towards understanding and as a product that can be measured. The reading selections will help you find topics for writing. Some of the selections provide helpful practical information.For examples, you’ll learn to discuss problems openly with others and avoid being manipulated by clever ads.Other selections deal with thought – provoking aspects of contemporary life. One articel, for intance, dramatizes in a vivid and painful way the tragedy that can result when teenagers drink and drive.Still other selections are devoted to a celebration of human goals and values;one essay, for examples, remind us of the power that praise and appreciation can have in our daily lives. The varied subject should inspire lively class discussions as well as serious individual thought.The selections should also provide a continuing source of high-interest material for a wide rangeof writing assigments. Thus, in reading, the first time someone distinguish each letter when discovered, hiding, matching written symbols with auditory equivalents, mixing them to form words, and acquire meaning. Therefore, finding the meaning of a word is terahir step in the process. II. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM Departing from a little exposure to the above, the problem can be formulated as follows: A. What are the concepts and processes in reading? B. what are the objectives and benefits of the act of reading? III. DISUSSION A. Processes And Concepts in Reading Activities a. concepts in reading activities By Tony Buzan seven concepts of reading activities: 1. Introduction When we read the book, we will recognize the first symbol in a book. now this book not only contains shaped symbol alphabet and books already add the with other symbols. such as icons or symbols in the form of images. And the careful introduction of the symbols of the book will make us more comfortable and faster to read a book. 2. Smelting After we get to know. we will begin to enter into the process of adjustment or assimilation. we will be assisted by our eyes to set of symbols, then the nerves will send a symbolic meaning to center our thinking, and so on. Here a kind of tug or purchase between what is conveyed by the book and what we have. This is where reading a book requires a lot of physical aspects. 3. Intra integration After we get to know and adjust to what we read. we will make the process of linking between one material with another material. Between one sentence with another sentence. So between chapters with each other. 4. Extra integration Once up on the extent of looking for something that is relevant to us or that intersect with our experiences. Then we come to the decision making. We can do the analysis, appreciation, selection, criticism and also willing to accept or reject what is presented related to the book to us. 5. Storage This is a very important process. In the use of writing to stremline the fifth stage. And we must keep the results we get from a book. We have to take advantage of what we can read for ourselves the development, storage process takes a long time can not be instant. 6. Admonishment This process is also important after the deviation. We should be able to use what we read to be issued again someday. For example, for test purposes. So the stage is very important to remember to tip on using "mind maps". Through a "mind map", what we remember will usually be easier to call or remove it again. Moreover, if then in the process of remembering who we are in a state of pleasure or are in a positive emotional state. 7. Communicating Reading books is one form of communication. Be it in the form of intrapersonal communication (with yourself) and interpersonal communication (between individuals), with the figures that are called by the books we read. The last stage in the process of reading this implies that reading books can also hear the active voice means that entry into us. And at some point, what goes into us that we convey (communicate) with others.To streamline the seventh reading. Kind of preparation required of the prime. If you can prepare yourself primed when running the read, and at least we can benefit from reading. b.Processes in reading activities Based on the nature of reading, apparently reading is a very complex process. At the time of reading, children must be able to: 1. Sensing device for text reading symbol (sensory aspects) 2. Interpret what he saw (Aspects Persektual) 3. Following the patterns of linear, logic, and grammar of words written (Aspects sequence), 4. Connect the words back to direct experiences in order to give meaning to existing words (Aspects of Experience), 5. Perform inference and evaluate materials (Aspect Thinking), 6. Given what you have learned previously and include the facts and new ideas (Aspects of Learning) 7. On the relationship between symbols and sounds, between the word and what it represents (Aspects Association), 8. Dealing with the interests and attitudes that affect the reading task (Task Affective) 9. Deploy everything to understand the reading material B. Objectives And Benefits Of The Act Of Reading a.Goals In Reading Activities Thus, the reading with a variety of purposes, namely: 1.
