Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the reading materials contained in the WAJAR (Penunjang Wajib Belajar) textbook published by Graha Pustaka and used for junior high school students with school-based curricula, specifically to identify the genres of the reading materials and to explain the suitability of the reading materials contained in the WAJAR textbook with school-based curricula (KTSP). With a documentary study, the author used a descriptive and qualitative design. The reading texts in the WAJAR textbook, which is used in junior high school with a school-based curriculum, are the source of data. The textbook contains 11 different types of text as a result of the results. The WAJAR textbook contains a variety of text types. Report text, descriptive text, analytical exposition, hortatory exposition, and procedure text are all covered in the book. The reading text contained within the textbook explicitly identifies all of the text’s generic structures. According to the findings, some language features are not used proportionally in the reading text. In each text type, certain language features were missing. The reading text contains only two to three of the five language features. Not all reading indicators are developed through textbook reading activities. The calculated suitability level was only 65.21 percent (suitable enough), indicating that there is still unsuitability in the WAJAR textbook. Some reading indicators are not included in the reading materials. There are some missing sections that explain why the indicators are not fully elaborated and evaluated in the WAJAR textbook’s reading texts.
