Baground

Reading stand for the third skill and will be always discussed. it is a skill that word as a communication way of a written text between a writer and a reader. In the classroom context of text reading comprehension. The  student take a role as reader of the text. As seen in many cases of the students in SMPN 3 Banyuwangi. When the learning process sometimes done by working in group, most of group depended on one until  two students for discussing and finishing the task. The collaborating will have two bad results. First, the student who never work in the discussion and only get a free score will have no increase in their reading comprehension. Second, they will not familiariez their self in collaborating with other. They can not be brave to share their mind and mind. And keep to be a passive student. Because of the fects, the collaborating learning process in the classroom  should be revised so that it can increase all the group’s member reading comprehension. One of the techniques in teaching reading which guides the student  for beings able to collaborate well with others is collaborative strategic reading (CSR). Klingner and Vaighn (1996), said that goals of CSR are to improve reading comprehension and increase conceptual learning in ways that maxim ize student’s involvement. Student roles are the important aspect of CSR because cooperative learning seems to work best when group members have been assigned a meaningful task. So it can considered trhat it is a good technique because the student are not only ancoraged to work together in  awell stuctured procedure. Therfore, considering tries to increase the student’s ready comprehension by using collaborative strategic reading.
