Both descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation) are used to analyze the quantitative data and thematic narration for qualitative. The findings of the study reveal that most of the respondents perceive using literary texts in teaching reading positively. In spite of their good perceptions, their practices of using literary texts in teaching reading were infrequent. The relationship between teachers' perception and their actual practices were positively correlated, but the degree of their correlation was weak. Thus, it is possible to recommend that teachers should use all literary materials included in the text to teach reading skill.
