Reading comprehension is one of receptive skills that must be mastered by EFL students. However, it is found that many students (especially, Indonesian) cannot accomplish the expectation as they have no interest in reading. It is assumed that this happens due to the uninteresting materials used by the teacher in the learning process. To overcome the problem, authentic materials are recommended since it is believed they can raise students’ enthusiasm because of their attractiveness in presenting up-to-date information which suits their interest and exposing real language. For that reason, the writer carried out a library research regarding the issue by collecting all related experts’ view and finding and explored them to have a conclusion. From all those theories and findings, it is found that through their ability to expose what is happening in real life with genuine language in attractive form (recipe, university catalogues, advertisements, etc.) , authentic materials can truly magnetize students’ interest and improve their reading comprehension since the materials focus the students’ attention on the content. Hence, it is very helpful to use the materials in teaching reading. All in all, authentic materials are a solution for reading problem since they have all features to bear the comprehension.
