Findings & Discussion Understanding Reading Interests
In the Big Indonesian Dictionary Interest is a high heart tendency towards something, passion and desire, while reading or reading in the Big Indonesian Dictionary is seeing or understanding the contents of what is written orally or only in the heart. Linguistically, reading is a decoding process, meaning that in reading activities there is an attempt to connect written words with the meaning of spoken language.
According to Slameto (2010), interest is a sense of preference and a sense of interest in a thing or activity, without anyone telling. Meanwhile, Musliaty (2018) suggests that interest can be related to the driving force that drives us to tend or feel attracted to people, objects, activities or it can be an effective experience stimulated by the activity itself. According to Andorson in Tarigan (2008) suggests that reading activities are activities to change writing or print into meaningful sounds.
