Reading is one of the English skills that has a significant role in helping students acquire English better and succeed in the academic field. Unfortunately, most students still struggle with reading comprehension, especially descriptive text. The students can still not scan what descriptive text tells about, although they have read it repetitively. This study is proposed to discover students’ difficulties in reading descriptive text. The method is qualitative design with 35 subjects. The data were collected through interviews and observation. The result of this study showed that the difficulties in reading comprehension faced by students are due to the fact that the length of the text can frustrate students to grasp the meaning. Secondly, there is a lack of vocabulary mastery; most students are poor in vocabulary mastery and face difficulty gaining information on descriptive text when they find unfamiliar words. Thirdly, when reading without strategies, most students only read the text without implementing the appropriate methods to comprehend it better. Fourthly, there is a lack of prior knowledge: most students do not have background knowledge of the topic they read. Lastly, limited reading practice, since students only practice reading when English subjects have limited reading references.

The purpose of this study is to determine students' ability to understand narrative text at SMPN 2 Susoh. This research used a quantitative research design with the research subject of 68 eighth graders by using a written test. The descriptive analysis indicated that the majority of the students are in the poor category. The findings suggest that limited vocabulary acquisition was a critical factor contributing to their poor performance, as many students struggled to engage with the test material effectively. This lack of vocabulary affected not only their ability to complete the test but also their overall comprehension of the narrative text. Based on the result, this study highlights the urgent need for educational strategies aimed at improving vocabulary acquisition among students at SMPN 2 Susoh. By addressing this deficiency, educators can help students develop better reading comprehension skills, which will ultimately improve their academic performance in english narrative texts.
