Keywords: HOTs, Pathway, Textbook This study aimed Understand the distribution of higher order thinking skills in the English Reading Practice Pathway and identify the HOT categories included in the English Reading Practice Pathway for Grade 10 students. The authors use analytics because the authors identify specificities of the material in the textbook. This study uses qualitative data because the data is in the form of words. The subject of this study is a reading exercise for an article in the Pathway to English textbook for X- level SMA students. Data is collected using a variety of tools, namely Pathway to English textbooks, map analysis and checklists. The results showed that in the Pathway to English textbook, advanced reasoning skills answered 15 out of 156 questions, or 9.6% of the 100 % questions. The analytical skill category (C4) is distributed by 7.7% of the practice part, the evaluation skill category (C5) is distributed by 1.9%, and 0% is distributed to the creative skill category. Clearly, The distribution of higher-order thinking in the essay reading exercises in the Pathway to English textbook clearly shows that the distribution of higher-order thinking (HOTS) is lower than the distribution of lower-order thinking (LOTs). These findings are in line with previous researchers' findings such as those of Laili, Aini, & Christanti, (2020), Prastikawati, Wiyaka, & Budiman (2021), and Sholichatun (2011). Generally, the distribution of higher-order thinking skills in essay reading exercises in the English Pathway book is good, but it needs more additional HOTS parts. This is evidenced by the data showing that 15 questions out of 156 or 9.6% of the 100%. (HOTS has 15 questions out of 156, while LOTS has 141 Questions out of 156)
