A good teacher has to use appropriate strategies to make his or her students fluent readers. Teachers also have to make students feel comfortable so that they can achieve the objective of the teaching and learning activities. Responding to the problems and considering the factors causing them, the researcher taught that the best way to improve the students' reading ability is through group work. Group work is a group of students who work together. Students in group can share, compare, and contrast ideas and thoughts.
