This study investigated the levels of comprehension (literal, inferential, evaluative) challenged by questions in Bahasa Indonesia and English textbooks used in Indonesian junior high schools. It found that Bahasa Indonesia textbooks focused more on inferential questions (45.9%) while English textbooks focused primarily on literal questions (62.9%). Fewer evaluative questions were asked in both. Most teachers did not modify the textbook questions. This uneven focus on comprehension levels could lead students to guess answers without reading critically. The study recommends textbook writers and teachers include questions targeting all comprehension levels to improve reading skills.
