Of all the language skills, it is accepted that reading is the most important skill for academic achievement, comparing to other language skills, i.e. listening comprehension, speaking and then writing (Adamson, 1993). According to Anderson (1999), reading is an essential skill for learners; and for many other field of study students, reading is also the important skill to master in order to ensure success in language learning. With strengthened reading skills, learners will make greater progress and attain greater development in other academic areas (Anderson, 2003).
