Abstract

The objective of this study was to supplement the reading comprehension
questions by analysing the weakness regarding the levels and types of questions in
the textbook Contextual English for Grade X of Senior High Schools and to
develop a reading comprehension workbook for grade X based on Curriculum
2013 and Barrett™s Taxonomy. It was found that this textbook contained too much
literal question which was at 61.6% and only low number of high level questions
(10.86%). From the preliminary finding, this workbook was then developed with
210 questions and validated by teacher, lecturer, and also the students™ try out.
The result of validation showed that the product was excellent. The average score
for each aspect by the first validator was 87.36% (good) and then revise until the
score given by the second validator was 91.57% (excellent). The result of
students™ try out showed that the value of 0.4 on each exercises on the book
and was considered valid. From these result, it was concluded that by the design
and content, the product is appropriate to be used for public.
