Abstract
Textual enhancement is a treatment to modify the appearance of a text (bold, underline, capitalize, italicize, etc.) in certain parts that are considered important. This recent paper aimed at reviewing the relationship between the action of implementing textual enhancement and the student’s reading comprehension. In this paper, the writers tried to analyze and explain points related and their contribution to the student’s reading comprehension. Several studies have shown that by modifying the appearance of texts, readers will find it easier to recognize, mark, and realize important things that need to be known from the text [1][2][3][4][5]. Related to scanning and skimming in reading, this treatment will give more impact on noticing important messages conveyed by the text. Once the reader can recognize and identify the important things in a text, the reader will understand the overall content of the text more easily.
