summarizing strategies used by teacher In Senior High School Gresik at Second Grade. This

The finding of this research based on two teacher?s in the study show that the
teacher in this research uses summarizing strategies when teaching reading comprehension
through five points. First, the teacher develop personal knowledge by giving students reading
text. Second, the teacher uses discuss strategy by explaining the students that in this strategies
it is a shortened of the original text. Third, the teacher uses model and the strategy by
reminding the students how to make a summary and pick up the best information of the text.
Fourth, the teacher uses memorise and guide with the teacher requested the students to list the
main ideas and find out the importants information of text and the teacher gave a correction.

reading text because it was proven that by using summarizing strategies the students could
understand about text more easier. Summarizing strategies also bring benefit for student?s
vocabulary, but also it could make the students practice to rewrite what they have read with
their own word.
