One of the objectives of teaching reading to the students is that the students are able to comprehend the content of the text given.

Based on the calculation of t-test, the result shows that there is significant increase on students’ reading comprehension after being taught through scanning and skimming technique (p<.05, p=.000), which can be seen from the mean score of the pretest 53.00 to posttest 72.67 with the increase of 20.67. It indicates that scanning technique could be used to increase students’ reading comprehension in identifying the specific information significantly.
