like reading because when the students read a paragraph, they got confused with
the main ideas of text, they did not know the meaning of the text. According
Akyot al., (2014:201), “Readers having difficulty with word recognition and
discriminition may lose the meaning of the text.” Therefore, the students having
difficulties in reading can not improve their reading skills and the students lack
vocabulary mastery so that they could not understand word in the text.
The way to achieve the teaching reading skill goes out well and to help the
students learn to read, the teacher should use strategies to make the students enjoy

ISSUMBOSHI
Once upon a time there was an old couple who didn’t have a child. They
lived in a small house near the village forest. “Please give us a child,” they asked
God everyday. One day, from the household Shinto altar, they heard a cute cry,
“Waa! Waa!”
They looked and saw a crying baby who looked just like a little finger.
“This child must be a gift from God. Thanks to God!” “We will call this child
‘Issumboshi’,” they said. They raised Issumboshi with much care, but Issumboshi
never grew bigger. “Hey, Issumboshi, do you want to be eaten by a frog?”
Issumboshi was always being bullied by the children of the village and often went
home feeling unhappy. Grandmother would make some big rice balls and
encourage him. “Eat a lot, and grow up quickly,” Grandmother said.
One day, Issumboshi said “ I will go to the capital to study and become a
respectable person. Then I will come back.” Grandfather and Grandmother were
worried about him, but Issumboshi’s mind would not be changed. At once they
began to prepare for his trip.
Issumboshi sheathed a needle sword in a straw case, put on a cup for a
sedge hat, and started out with a chopstick staff, in high spirits. “I’m going now,”
Issumboshi said.
“Is he safe? With such a small body?” Grandfather and Grandmother
asked as they saw him off.
Issumboshi went on the trip with a big wish in a small body.
At last Issumboshi reached the capital city and anchored under the
bridge. Then he climbed up to the railing and viewed the town. “There is a fine
palace over there. I shall ask them at once.” At long last Issumboshi arrived at the
palace. “Excuse me, but I want to meet the feudal lord.”The lord came to the door,
“What? Who’s there?” “Here I am, at your feet.” “Oh. How small! Why do you
want to meet me?” “Please let me be your retainer.” “I wonder if your very small
body can do anything.” “I’ll stay in your pocket and guard you from all harm.”
When Issumboshi said so, a bee came buzzing by. “Yhaa!”Issumboshi yelled,
stabbing the bee. “Bravo! I employ you. It would be good if you became the
Princess’s man.” “Oh! What a cute fellow he is!” said the Princess, putting
Issumboshi on her palm. “I will defend you upon my life,” said Issumboshi.The
Princess liked Issumboshi, and she taught him reading, writing, and various
studies. Further, Issumboshi practiced fencing very hard in order to be strong. One
day the Princess went out to worship at the Kiyomizu Temple. Suddenly there was
a strong wind, and some demons appeared. The leader of the demons tried to grab
the Princess.
“Help me!” she screamed. Issumboshi tried to help her, but the demon
caught him and threw him into his mouth. Issumboshi, who was swallowed,
jabbed and jabbed the demon’s stomach. The demon rolled over and spat out
Issumboshi. Issumboshi jumped at the demon and stabbed his eyes. The
remaining demons were frightened. They ran away in great haste, but one demon,
who was left behind, trembled while holding the magic hammer. “Do you want
me to stab your eyes, too?” Issumboshi asked. “Please, don’t. This is the magic
hammer that will grant you a wish. I give it to you, so please spare me.” And
saying this, he ran off in a hurry. “Thank you, Issumboshi. You have saved my
life,” the Princess said. “Princess, please wave this magic hammer and make a
wishthat I may become big,” said Issumboshi. The Princess waved it and asked,
“May Issumboshi become big!” And then, strangely, before her eyes, Issumboshi
began to grow. He grew into a nice young man. They went back to the palace, and
the Princess asked the King to let her marry Issumboshi.
The Princess and Issumboshi then got married, and they invited
Grandfather and Grandmother to live with them in the palace. They lived happily
ever after

The procedures of teaching which involves some organized steps were used to
carry out this experiment. There are divided into 3 major steps in which they are
pre-activities, whilst- activities, and post- activities. In this study, taken were
described as follows:
1. Pre- activities
Explaining the students about the course that they would have in general
Telling the students about the purpose of the course that they would have
Motivating the students by explaining them how important the course was.
2. Whilst- activities
The teacher asks student to write on the white board by their own word

different participants have been used in each condition (Field, 2009:334). Paired
