摘要：This study aimed to analyze reading activities in “ Bright 2 ” an English textbook for junior high school students grade VIII in Indonesia by using Bloom’s revised taxonomy. A content analysis was conducted to achieve the research purpose. The findings show that the textbook has dominant reading activities on the cognitive process “ analyze ” 27% and “ apply ” 21% of the total 145 reading activities, respectively. The number of higher and lower cognitive processes in this textbook is almost balanced on 49% of higher order thinking skills and 51% of lesser order thinking skills correspondingly. There is a slight difference between the number higher thinking process and lower thinking process since most reading activities are on “ analyze ”, which is belong to the higher thinking process while the second most frequent reading activities are “ apply ”, the lower thinking process. Meanwhile, “ apply” and “ analyze” is placed on the 3rd and 4th in the taxonomy, it means that the textbook emphasizes the middle cognitive thinking process of Bloom’s revised taxonomy, which is formed by “ apply” and “ analyze” thinking process.
