Nowadays, people worry about attitude descent in society such as behavior deviation, life styles and norms of life. We can find the phenomena where moral and culture values have faded. As a result, politeness and prudency are not as a part of daily life. School, as agent of change, can be a place to civilize the moral and culture values through teaching and learning process. As teachers, it is necessary for us to solve these problems by establishing educational character in the classroom. The value of character education can be accommodated through character-based reading approach. Based on Standar Isi of English subject at Junior High school or Senior High School in Indonesia, the students have to be able to understand and create a lot of kinds of text. Narrative text is a text whose social functions are to entertain, stimulate emotions, motivate, give and teach readers. It means that this text is very suitable in building the students’ character since it implies the moral and culture value in each their rhetorical stages of the text. This paper explores those texts by using The Interactive Compensatory Model (TICM). TICM is a reading model that can establish not only the students’ reading comprehension and the ability of creating narrative text but also it can make the students understand what the moral messages imply in each text. It is hoped that by knowing the moral values, teachers can build the students’ character.
