<![CDATA[This case study aims to discover teachers' practices for teaching second-grade reading comprehension at one of Kendari's Islamic state senior high schools. Using depth-interviews with two EFL teachers, the researchers scrutinized teachers' various strategies as best practices in teaching reading. Two teachers from one of Kendari's state Islamic senior high schools took part in this study. The findings of this study were based on the reading tactics utilized in class. The teacher employed pre-reading strategy training, asking students to check their memory of the text and having a brief conversation about the text's title. Also, the teacher employed calculative vocabulary, allowing the students to acquire skills for predicting word meanings based on context and prior knowledge. As for reading comprehension, the teacher engaged the class to read aloud and discuss how they understand what is written, observing students who asked questions about complex vocabulary during reading instruction and directing students to learn difficult vocabulary. Meanwhile, students' challenge in reading class requires more vocabulary and enthusiasm.Keywords: reading class; reading comprehension; teaching reading strategy.]]>
