Due to the limited numbers of English books where students can read in the literacy program and teachers can use as reference in teaching English in the class, this present study aimed to develop reading material of Kubu Raya folktales for teachers. In conducting this research, the researcher adapted ADDIE model which used only four phases, namely, analyze, design, develop and implementation. The subject of this research was the grade X MIPA 1 students of SMA N 1 Sungai Kakap, Kubu Raya. Questionnaire and interview were conducted to gather the data from the school. The finding revealed that students were in need of English books that could increase their interest in reading in English with the culture that students were familiar with. Thus, this study developed extensive reading material in the form of a story book that consisted of ten stories from Kubu Raya folktales where students were mostly come from. It is recommended for the future research to evaluate the product developed in this study and to add more stories and cover more samples.
