This study aims to examine the effect of using interactive compensatory model (ICM)-based integrated thematic learning tools to improve students’ reading comprehension of information text comprehension for fifth grade elementary school. This research was conducted in three stages. The first phase of the preliminary study included a literature study, field surveys and expert-validated initial product preparation. The second stage of development included limited trials and extensive trials through experimental methods. The third stage was product testing and socialization of the results to try out its efficacy. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, questionnaires and test (pre-test and post-test). This study used a sample of 504 grade fifth students in 12 elementary schools in Bandung Regency. The results of this study indicate that the use of ICM-based integrated thematic learning tools has a significant effect on students’ improvement for reading comprehension on information text for fifth grade elementary school. This is evidenced by the difference in students’ reading comprehension ability before and after learning using ICM-based integrated thematic learning tools. This research has implications for the ease with which teachers can achieve learning objectives with the support of teaching materials, media, worksheets and interesting and practical activities that can stimulate students to improve their reading comprehension skills.

This article presents two studies investigating the role of executive functioning in written text comprehension in children and adolescents. In a first study, the involvement of executive functions in reading comprehension performance was examined in normally developing children in fifth grade. Two aspects of text comprehension were differentiated: literal and inferential processes. The results demonstrated that while three aspects of executive functioning (working memory, planning, and inhibition processes) were significantly predictive of the performance on the inferential questions of the comprehension test, these factors did not predict the scores on the literal tasks of the test. In a second experiment, the linguistic and cognitive profiles of children in third/fifth and seventh/ninth grades with a specific reading comprehension deficit were examined. This analysis revealed that the deficits experienced by the less skilled comprehenders in both the linguistic and the executive domains could evolve over time. As a result, linguistic factors do not make it possible to distinguish between good and poor comprehenders among the group of older children, whereas the difficulties relating to executive processing remain stable over development. These findings are discussed in the context of the need to take account of the executive difficulties that characterize less skilled comprehenders of any age, especially for remediation purposes.

This study was aimed at investigating whether or not there was a significant effect of the implementation of Big Book as media on reading comprehension achievement of the fifth grade students. This study was conducted in SD Laboratorium Undiksha Singaraja in the form of an experimental research with post-Test only Control Group Design. The population was the fifth grade in which two classes were selected as the sample of the study. Then, the samples were decided as the experimental group and control group by using lottery. The experimental group was taught by using Big Book as media and the control group was taught by using conventional media. The data were analyzed by using t-test through SPSS 17.0. The result of the data analysis showed that students in experimental group performed better than the students in the control group. It was proven by the result of the descriptive statistics that showed the mean score of the experimental group was 85.51 while the mean score of the control group was 75.56. The result of the t-test also showed that the value of Sig (2-tailed) 0.000 was less than 0.05. It can be concluded that there was a significant difference of reading comprehension achievement between students treated with big book as media and those treated using conventional media at fifth grade of elementary school in SD Laboratorium Undiksha Singaraja.

Abstract: Reading comprehension is flexible and sustainable cognitive and constructive process. Students 'understanding of reading content is still low, therefore there is need strategies to improve students' reading comprehension ability. One of strategy that can be used in reading comprehension learning is Accelerated Learning based on baroque music. Baroque music has no lyrics and neutral, besides that the baroque music have a strong influence on the ability to absorb information and memorize it. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in scores on the read comprehension ability of fifth grade students of elementary school before and after learning using Accelerated Learning based on baroque music. The design of this study uses nonequivalent control group with data collection techniques using test. The collected data were tested using Independent Sample t-test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the score of reading comprehension ability of fifth grade students of elementary school before and after learning using Accelerated Learning based on baroque music.Keywords: reading comprehension, learning strategy, Accelerated Learning, baroque music Abstrak: Membaca pemahaman adalah proses kognitif dan konstruktif yang fleksibel dan berkelanjutan. Pemahaman siswa mengenai isi bacaan masih belum optimal, oleh karena itu perlu adanya strategi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa. Salah satu strategi yang dapat digunakan dalam pembelajaran membaca pemahaman adalah Accelerated Learning berbasis musik barok. Musik barok tidak memiliki lirik dan netral, selain itu musik barok memiliki pengaruh yang kuat pada kemampuan untuk menyerap informasi dan menghafalnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan skor pada kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa kelas 5 sekolah dasar sebelum dan sesudah belajar menggunakan Accelerated Learning berbasis musik barok. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan nonequivalent control group dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes. Data yang terkumpul diuji menggunakan Independent Sample t-test dengan tingkat signifikansi 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara skor kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa kelas 5 sekolah dasar sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran yang menerapkan Accelerated Learning berbasis musik barok.Kata kunci: membaca pemahaman, strategi pembelajaran, Accelerated Learning, musik barok

This study aims to examine the effect of the KWL (Know, Want, Learned) strategy on the reading comprehension ability of fifth grade students of Muslimin Panyawungan 1 and 2. The techniques of research data collection are in the form of tests, observations and interviews. To test the hypothesis that there is an influence or not researchers use a simple linear regression formula. The results showed that the ability to read students 'understanding in the experimental class using the KWL (Know, Want, Learned) strategy was higher than the ability to read students' comprehension in the control class with conventional learning (expository strategy) so that there were differences. This is evidenced from the results of hypothesis testing obtained sig (2-tailed) value of 0.00 <0.05, which means that there are significant differences. Based on the results of the regression test also proves that the KWL (Know, Want, Learned) strategy influences the reading ability of elementary school students' understanding with the results of sig. 0.003 <0.05 so it can be concluded that the use of the KWL (Know, Want, Learned) strategy influences the students' reading comprehension ability in elementary school.
