Learning is the process of gaining more knowledge, or of learning how to do something. One of way to obtain the knowledge is by reading. In reading, the reader needs to catch the meaning of the text in order to understand the information in the text and finally obtain the knowledge. Still, learners’ ability to comprehend the text is difference each other. This difference is called as Learning Style. Bobbi DePorter and friends categorize the learning style into visual, auditory and kinesthetic style. An individual's ability to comprehend text is influenced by their traits and skills, one of which is the ability to make inferences. Besides, Carbo stated that good readers prefer to learn through their visual and auditory senses, while poor readers have a stronger preference for tactile and kinestheticlearning.
