Analisis Metode Membaca Nyaring (Read Aloud) Terhadap Kemampuan Membaca Permulaan Siswa Kelas 1 di SDN Bahagia 03

Abstract

Elementary education plays a crucial role in shaping students' literacy skills, particularly in early reading. Students' learning success can also be seen from how teachers apply learning methods. However, in practice, many early grade students still experience difficulty recognizing letters and arranging them into words, leading to a lack of interest and ability in reading. Based on this issue, this article aims to analyze the implementation and impact of the read-aloud method on the early reading skills of first-grade students at SDN Bahagia 03. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were obtained through direct observation and interviews with the first-grade teacher as the primary subject, while observing the activities of first-grade students as secondary subjects. The results showed that the implementation of the read-aloud method had a positive impact on the development of students' early reading skills, particularly in recognizing letter sounds and pronunciation, and gradually increasing interest in reading.
