Pettit. N. T. and Cockriel.
I. W. (1974: 64) the majority of studies have found reading
comprehension to be composed of two broad categories: Literal comprehension, inferential
comprehension.
1) Literal
Comprehension
Based on Alam. S. (2008: 12)
Literal
reading refers to ideas and fact directly started or the
printed page. Literal reading is the skill of getting the primary
direct literal meaning of sentence in context the basic of literal comprehension are recognizing state ideas details,
effect and sequence. The basic of literal
comprehension are recognizing is fundamental to all reading skill at any levels
because a reader must first understand what the author said.
2) Interpretive
or Inferential Comprehension
Burns in Astriani (2007: 8)
defines the interpretive
reading is means read between the lines or making inferences. It is the process
of deriving ideas that are implied rather than directly stated. This level demands
higher level of thinking ability because the question in the category of
interpretation are concerned with answer that are not directly stated in the
text but are suggested or implied
where the students make connections among individuals’
states ideas, make inferences, draw conclusion, read between the lines to get
inferences, or implied meaning from the text.
