It is the skill that helps us discover new horizons and get in new linguistic dimensions. Teachers, before any other person, should be into reading, as reading does always make teachers up-to-date and competent in what they teach. Reading builds a greater mind, full of fresh thoughts and mesmerizing creativity. Reading as a skill in teaching contributes in shaping the students we want; it helps teachers convert students into leaders, positive citizens of the country. However, all these perfections of reading can be demolished once the teachers and the students together find it hard to approach reading. Students suffer from the lack of the effective tools to deconstruct the reading texts provided in the textbooks, and the teachers lose their race when they feel like facing an absolute failure. This accumulation has pushed us to think more than once in approaching this hot topic. It is, in fact, a topic that interests us all as being novice teachers. Teachers face struggles in making students comprehend a given text. This comprehension can be divided into smaller comprehension difficulties like lack of vocabulary baggage needed, technicality problems, grammatical boundaries and many other obstacles that hinder the process of understanding. The present action research aims at approaching these problems in an effective way through integrating students and teachers in the process of examination and analysis. Different chapters of this research uncover different problems that we have faced in teaching reading comprehension skill. Therefore, problems are discussed thoroughly based on the results of our data collection. New strategies are proposed to overcome the analyzed problems and further recommendations are presented for more adequate and decent pieces of research to take place in the future. We will try as much as possible to answer the questions that have triggered us to conduct this piece of research, hoping that we get the desirable answers.
