Abstract

Young adult literature is authentic material that can be used with junior high school students. Nonetheless, students may find it difficult to read young adult literature as a source of information. The purpose of this research was to find out students’ difficulties in reading young adult literature. The method of this study was descriptive qualitative. The sample consisted of 40 students of SMP N 1 Inderalaya Selatan. In this study, a reading test in the form of a multiple choice with 30 questions was used as an instrument. Based on data analysis, students struggled to answer questions on the main idea, supporting details, inference, cause/effect, and vocabulary. As a result, the findings of this study may be helpful to policymakers in improving the reading experience of learners.
