THE PROBLEM
Senior high school students also benefit from reading strategies to increase their

senior high school students since it enhances their reading comprehension and
experience of a text.
Senior high school students can not only improve their analytical skills
but also develop their critical thinking and reading comprehension. Some students

a lot of unfamiliar words, since comprehension is a difficult process that requires
background knowledge.
information regarding a new language (Al Sobaihi, 2020). It is a very mindful and
elaborate process (Singh, 2017), as learners need to actively think to decode and
comprehend words and the message of a text (Rahman, 2020a, 2020b). This
activity can be challenging (Andriani & Mbato, 2021), as learners not only need

2012, p. 293; Dilci & Babacan, 2011, p. 51; Chechen & Alver, 2011, p. 43).
Technology has become an essential part of our lives, and it has changed
the way we read and learn. With the increased availability of digital devices and
internet services, readers may now access a variety of information at any time.
This has impacted not only the way we consume information but also the way we
approach learning and reading. Technology has the potential to improve the
For first of all, technology allows users to access a wider range of reading
materials, such as digital texts, audiobooks, and interactive e-books. This helps
readers to have a more personalized reading experience by selecting texts that are
suitable to their interests and reading levels. This can encourage readers to
interact with the text and use metacognitive reading strategies to comprehend the
material.
Second, technology can provide readers with various kinds of tools and
resources to help them use metacognitive reading strategies. For example, digital
annotation tools enable readers to highlight and take notes while reading, which
can help with monitoring and comprehension. Online dictionaries and translation
tools can also help readers understand foreign terms and concepts, which is an

Table 3 shows the metacognitive reading strategies that the senior high
school students used. It reveals that the statement 16“I read slowly but carefully
to be sure I understand what I am reading.” has the highest mean rating of 4.10
and Descriptive rating of “Agree”. Students understand the need to read slowly
and carefully in order to fully comprehend a topic. They are willing to put in the
time and effort to achieve that goal, showing a careful and deliberate reading
material. This strategy allows students to focus on details and connect different
portions of the text, improving their comprehension and recall of information.

words," even though the descriptive rating is “Agree," shows that most of the
senior high school students do not rely on context clues when encountering
unfamiliar words. For students who come across unfamiliar words, context clues
are essential since they offer helpful clues on the meaning of those words. By
using context clues to make informed guesses about the meanings of unfamiliar
terms, students who may struggle with vocabulary can improve their
comprehension skills. Students who are skilled in using context clues will be able
to figure out terms from reading materials on their own, which is an essential
ability for success in any kind of subjects. Context clues are essential for students
