This research aims to explore the strategies used by teachers in teaching reading skills. The focus of the research is to understand how teachers choose and implement teaching strategies to improve students' reading skills, as well as identifying the challenges faced in the process of teaching reading. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation and interview methods, to collect data using three teacher participants at MAS Darul Ihsan. The research results show that teachers use various strategies, such as scaffolding strategies to provide gradual guidance according to students' ability levels, reciprocal teaching to encourage interaction and discussion between students in understanding texts, and think aloud to model the thinking process during reading. However, teachers face challenges which include a lack of student interest and motivation in reading and teachers have difficulty adjusting strategies based on students' ability levels. Teachers feel the need to pay special attention to motivation and strategies tailored to individual abilities. This research concludes that the strategies used are effective in improving students reading comprehension, challenges related to motivation and differences in students' ability levels need additional support, such as individual guidance which can help overcome gaps in students' abilities.
