In my opinion, a challenging activity when teaching reading is literacy, which in Indonesia alone children and adults in literacy are very low.  Which when compared with other countries Indonesia under Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia based on the results of the PISA test (The Program for International Student Assessment) released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2016. While 70% of people  adults in Jakarta only have the ability to understand information from short writing, but have difficulty understanding information from longer and more complex writing.  And 86% of adults in Jakarta can only solve arithmetic problems that require one step, but difficulty completing calculations that require several steps.This data is inferred from the results of the PIAAC (The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) assessment, a voluntary competency test for adults aged 16 years and over.Low literacy is a fundamental problem that has a very broad impact on the progress of the nation.  Low literacy contributes to the low productivity of the nation.  This leads to low growth and ultimately has an impact on the low level of welfare which is characterized by low per capita income.Low literacy also contributes significantly to poverty, unemployment and inequality. There needs to be special efforts from the government to increase the level of Indonesian literacy.
