This study is descriptive qualitative research. It investigates about questioning in a reading class in one Islamic Senior High School in Bandung. Specifically, it finds out the teacher’s question types and the students’ opinions towards the questions that asked by the teacher in the reading class. In conclusion, mastering English reading skill can be something difficult for students who learn English as foreign language because they do not use the language in their daily lives.

By applying those question types, the students are encouraged to focus in learning reading material in the class and become familiar with some reading exercises that usually appear in English exam.
