year 2016/ 2017. The data were analyzed by using Miles and Huberman data
analysis technique. The technique of collecting the data was recorded from the
classroom process in teaching reading comprehension of narrative text. The
findings of the study show that most of teachers’ ways are not yet focusing on
teaching reading comprehension but rather focusing teaching the knowledge of
genre. The underlying reason of the teachers’ ways in teaching reading
comprehension did not facilitate reading comprehension. It was due to the
misperception of the concept of teaching reading comprehension.
