In order to achieve the objectives, the researcher held action research at SMA N 5 Lhokseumawe, from 16- 19th March 2021. There were 2 cycles in which 2 meetings were held for each cycle. The subject of the study is the second year with the numbers of population 32 students. The instruments used were observation sheets, questionnaires, and tests. The result of the study is the problem of motivating students to read. This can be solved by using Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) . Based on the questionnaire, all of the students said that the use of the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) method was interesting. In line with the questionnaire result, the observation sheet also showed excellent results on students ’ study habits. There was an improvement in students’ comprehension, it can be seen in cycle 1 which was 89.06 points, and cycle II which was 95.6 points. In this study, I suggest that the teachers should be able to use Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) as an alternative to motivating students learning. Keywords—Reading Comprehension, reading, CLT.   \nINTRODUCTION  \nEnglish as a foreign language, reading is one of the most important factors in determiming a learner’s linguistic competence. Reading is a receptive language process. It is the process of recognition, interpretation, and perception of written or printed materials. Reading proficiency plays a great role in understanding a written statement accurately and efficiently. Reading serves as an important tool in every field of professional service and it contributes to the successful learning of a language. Hence it usually receives more emphasis in education than the other skills. In fact, the results for students’reading skills is still unsatisfactory. An improvement by the students is needed to achieve success in mastering reading. There are five aspects in reading that must be known by teachers and students. They are phonic, phonemic, awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. These five aspects of reading work together to create the reading experince. Without considering these aspects, teacher and students will face difficulties in teaching reading process. Beacause the five aspects are important in reading to help them in understanding a text, there are four areas of the teaching reading objective. They are knowledge, comprehension, application, and analysis. Process of gaining knowledge helps students to increase vocabulary, language, communication, and recollection skill. Comprehension helps students to increase their ability to take large amount of information and condense into a key points and ideas by doing a concise and succinct manner. The ability and analysis information that was read is another objective of teaching reading. In the same case there are some factors that hampering students‟ achievments in reading, specifically in reading comprehension. Mariam S (2016) explains that the students reading comprehension improvement can be seen when they read the text in reading activities in the cycle one which also can be drawn up by the noticeable score of the first summary writing in the cycle one. Nowadays, the students may not have such motivation to read because the text is not interesting and sometime the text is too long. The students are also unfamiliar with the  \nword used in the text or they lacking of vocabularies. But the main factor that caused students‟ bored in reading is the strategy of teaching reading that is used to teach them is not appropriate to their need.
