Background
Reading is one of the skills in learning English, we can get a lot of information through reading, there is an old saying "Books are the windows to the world", so we can get experience and information without going there, and the most important thing is that it can improve students' vocabulary mastery. Extensive reading focuses on how students read for pleasure and not only in the classroom, but can read at home and anywhere, and in addition, students can freely choose the reading material, so when they read material that is not interesting to them, they can change from other reading material regarding to their delight and level. The reading topic should be interesting and suitable for students. Nuttal in Kredatusova (2007).
There are many researchers who had done research using comprehensive reading approach, their research was successfully improved students'. Meanwhile, Amalia (2016) in her research success in improving students' reading comprehension ability shows that after implementing a comprehensive reading approach, students are more active and serious in participating in the lesson, and students can also understand the text. According to Day and Bamford (2004), Extensive Reading is an approach in language teaching that students very easily target material.
The problem arises because the lack of motivation and interest of students to read, the reading material uses unfamiliar words, uses the wrong pronunciation when reading, they always have trouble understanding the meaning of the words. Sometimes students feel bored with the old method and students need a new atmosphere to make the students interested to improve their vocabulary.

Significance of the Research
Amalia (2016) found in her research that the implementation of extended reading approach can improve the students' ability in reading comprehension. Her research found that teaching English through the use of extensive reading can enrich students' vocabulary in terms of receptive vocabulary. Therefore, the researcher thought that the process of extensive reading could help improve students' vocabulary mastery in terms of nouns and verbs.
Alternative hypothesis (H1): There is a significant effect of using the extensive reading approach on improving students' vocabulary mastery. Null hypothesis (H0): There is no significant effect of using the extensive reading approach to improve students' vocabulary mastery. The researcher used a pre-experimental design because he wanted to measure students' vocabulary mastery using the extensive reading approach.
The indicator in this study is a comprehensive reading approach to improve students' vocabulary mastery in terms of noun and verb. It means that there are significant differences between the learners' vocabulary in terms of nouns before and after using extended reading. Nuttall in Ayuningtyas (2012) also said that extensive reading is an effective way to improve students' vocabulary mastery.
This meant that the competence students' vocabulary in the form of verbs improves more after extensive reading. In addition to that, implementing extensive reading could improve students' vocabulary in terms of nouns. Therefore, it could be concluded that there were improvements in students' vocabulary regarding nouns after implementing comprehensive reading approach.
It showed that students' vocabulary in terms of noun improved better after the implementation of extensive reading was 80.00.

Conceptual Framework
Teaching reading is one of the most important aspects, because by reading we can get information, but not all students like to read, this happens because sometimes reading material is uninteresting for students and also have to read reading material provided by teacher , it makes students feel lazy and bored to read. In extended reading, students chose the reading material with their pleasure and their level, the students read with the big and they could read their reading material anywhere and anytime they wanted, but students also have reading target. Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing, and nouns are words used to identify any class of people, places, or things.
Therefore, this was the reason why the researcher tried to use extensive reading approach to improve students' vocabulary mastery, especially verb and noun.

In this test, the first session was given before the use of extensive reading and the second test was post-test.
