Even though, the need of English mastery has increased significantly due to the strengthen position of English as one of the biggest language that used in society on earth. Crystal (2003) stated that English is used as a working language for over 85% in international organizations. It is clear that companies need people especially freshgraduate who have certain skills spesifically in English ability to communicate and support the action. On this concern, Indonesian companies and offices have been thinking about offering their employees the opportunity to give oral presentations. To support progress and collaboration, we need to communicate effectively and efficiently. Also, the era of globalization has forced us to expand our business to other countries as well as Indonesia. therefore, we obviously need English-speaking staff to do this international job.

Literacy is the ability to read, understand, and interpret words on pages of documents and other reading materials. Having honest literacy prepares people to learn the written work in a short amount of time by reading it. When people develop their reading skills, it is a lifelong activity. While reading at any time, it is expected that people will think critically about the actual subject or topic in order to know the purpose of the author. Reading comprehension can only be developed by constant reading comprehension. Teaching reading culture and habits can be a hobby. (Rizqy et al, 2021) In this digital era, The emphasis on technology in everyday life is very intense and strong. Almost all aspects of life are now integrated with technology including knowledge and teaching-learning aspect. Technology has became a new culture in life, even kids are able to use technology in their life (Pustika, 2020). One of the most technology device that often to use is social media. According to Howard and Parks (2012), social networks are three-part media. If culture is digital, then the entities that produce and consume digital media content are individuals, organizations, and industries. Then, along with the development of strict mandates for Internet resources, they become indicators of students' more creative ability to express their ideas.
Instagram is one of the most famous example of social media. This application nowadays is really loved by many young people. Social Media Instagram is a messaging tool (app) that lets you connect with a wider audience by sharing photos or videos with other features such as direct message (DM), comments, love and more.

In Instagram there is also a lot of account that provide information, it could be anything. For example, there are a lot of instagram users that giving spesific information about English material. From this facts, it can be concluded that, modern English students need to improve their skills through social media especially instagram to help their aim in learning (Aminatun, 2019). Students also perceived social media as a tool to enhance learning (Sari & Wahyudin, 2019a;Sari & Wahyudin, 2019b). It is because Instagram presents a fun alternative and attracts students' interest in learning English especially reading vocabulary since it also supported by picture that can trigger students to learn and know more about English (Pratiwi & Ayu, 2020).
Several Instagram accounts provide information related to English and this can really be a reference for us to add to our vocabulary and improve our listening skills. @kampunginggrislc, @kampunginggrism, @gurukumrd, etc. They provide a lot of statements, captions, videos about English that are made very interesting so that the viewers are entertained and hope that readers don`t get bored, and now Instagram also provides a feature called IGTV which is used to play videos using more time, length of the previous video player.

Instagram introduced Stories as a means of supplanting Snapchat's appeal as a means for users to post "ephemeral" content. Most stories exist for 24 hours before the system automatically deletes them (recently Instagram also introduced a feature that allows you to "save" stories as highlights. However you have to automatically select this option otherwise the system removes them). Instagram Stories can be videos or images (videos are limited to 15 seconds), with the user also being able to add text to either format. Users are also able to post text-only versions of their stories(Banfield/agency.com)

B. The definition of reading
Reading is an activity to see what is written and the process of understanding the contents of the text aloud or silently. Reading is expressing an imagination of a reader that is liked by the general public and also understood by someone. In reading learning, the function is intended so that students can read quickly, eliminating habits that can hinder reading acceleration. Djiwandono (2002: 93) states that reading fast does not mean skipping a few words, but setting the eye speed proportionally on each word depending on the weight of the proposition of the word.
In reading learning, students are expected to be able to give new habits to mastering speed reading techniques, besides that students can master lesson materials with good results. (Placeholder1). In speed reading, there is also a fast understanding. There are four skills in English, namely: Speaking, Reading, Writing, and listening. Reading skill is one of the skills that must be mastered by students. Reading subjects discuss narrative, descriptive reading, then rewrite the contents of the reading both orally and in writing.
Factors underlying problems in Reading :

Concentration is still low
The attitude of the students who are still not calm shows that the students are still not concentrating in reading. 3.

C. Reading Mastery
Basically, reading is an activity that the readers try to understand what is the text mean and knowing the general idea and detailed information inside. Mastery means the level of comprehension expected in a direct instruction or activity program with the goal of learning is 90% or more. So the definition of reading mastery is a direct instruction or activity program designed to provide explicit instruction in English language learning. According to NIFDI (2015) states that there is 5 keys philosophical principles underlie direct instruction to master something: 1. All students can be taught.
2. All children can improve academically and in terms of self-image.
3. All teachers can succeed if provided with adequate training and materials.
4. Low performers and disadvantages learners must be taught as a faster rate than typically occurs if they are to catch up to their high-performing peers. 5. All details of instruction must be controlled to minimize chance of students' misinterpreting the information being taught and to maximize the reinforcing effects of instruction.

It is lower than .05 which means there is a significant difference between both groups after given a treatment. In addition, the experimental group has a higher mean rank score of the post-test which is 47.92 than the control group which is 27.81.The similar aspect of this research and him research is using quantitative research.

DISCUSSION
Mastery of reading English has become an important skill in addition to listening, speaking, and writing skills. This is because the mastery of reading skills affects the level of contextual understanding of students in reading English texts. For example, students who have good reading skills will gain broader insight, thinking skills, analysis, increased vocabulary, and quality of writing. Therefore, it is necessary to have reading skills that are at the level of mastery in students. This reading ability can be built well in formal education from elementary school to university with additional learning.

Instagram itself has many features that allow users to share stories through stories and feeds. Users can share the photos and videos they want to share with their accounts to show what they feel, do and do. Of course, it is a good medium for learning English. This may be related to social media usage activities where users want to share videos and photos and need to enter the following text to explain what they want to share. (Martirini et al, 2021).
