Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Apakah pelatihan bunyi huruf efektif dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaan pada Siswa kelas 1 Sekolah Dasar. Pelatihan Bunyi Huruf ini mengacu pada teori Phonological Awareness dari Torgessen dan Wagner (1998) Phonological Awarenes adalah sensitivitas atau kesadaran eksplisit seseorang yang meliputi kemampuan mendengar, melihat, memikirkan atau memanipulasi struktur bunyi dari kata-kata dalam bahasanya. Subyek dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 12 siswa kelas 1 SD yang belum lancar membaca. Siswa tersebut dibagi mejadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok kontrol dan kelompok eksperimen. Alat pengumpulan data yang digunakan sebagai test yang pada pretest dan postest adalah EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment). Pelatihan Bunyi Huruf dilakukan sebanyak 8 kali pertemuan, dan hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya peningkatan skor kemampuan membaca yang sangat signifikan pada kelompok eksperimen setelah diberikan pelatihan bunyi huruf. Disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan bunyi huruf terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan siswa sekolah dasar. This study aims to find out whether effective letter sound training can improve initial reading skills in Grade 1 Elementary School students. This Letter Sound Training refers to the Phonological Awareness theory of Torgessen and Wagner (1998) Phonological Awareness is the sensitivity or explicit awareness of a person which includes the ability to hear, see, think or manipulate the sound structure of words in the language. The subjects in this study were 12 grade 1 elementary school students who had not read fluently. The students were divided into 2 groups, namely the control group and the experimental group. The data collection tool used as a test at the pre-test and post-test was EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment). Letter Sounding Training was conducted in 8 meetings, and the results of the study showed a very significant increase in the reading ability score in the experimental group after being given letter sound training. It was concluded that letter sound training proved effective in improving the ability of elementary school students

Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de conciencia fonológica de los niños y niñas del grado primero de la Institución Educativa Rural José Antonio Galán, sedes Bajo Corinto y Maracas, como prerrequisito para el aprendizaje de la lectura convencional. Metodología: investigación de enfoque cuantitativo con diseño descriptivo, mediante la aplicación de la prueba EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment), que permite valorar el dominio de competencias indispensables para el aprendizaje de la lectura convencional. Hallazgos: ha sido posible determinar cómo los bajos niveles de desarrollo de la conciencia fonológica se relacionan con el nivel de adquisición del proceso de lectura convencional alcanzado por cada sujeto. Conclusiones: el nivel de desarrollo de la conciencia fonológica en la mayoría de la población evaluada, es silábico. Es necesario dar continuidad desde el área de psicología a la indagación en este contexto por las situaciones emergentes sobre la población y las problemáticas identificadas desde sus dinámicas relacionales.

This article describes new strategies in teaching reading skills to primary school students based on the finding of Early Grade Reading Assessment instruments implemented in primary schools in Serang Banten, Indonesia. The authors describe the obtained results of the students’ skills in reading components. For example, we illustrate the proposed technique of teaching reading to primary school students. Our method shows that improvement in the students’ reading ability is moderate; the children are less able to recognize words; meaningless words are still hard to spell; and the students can understand the story well. The new strategy's effectiveness in evaluation is confirmed by calculating how the students recognize letters with a low reading speed of about 2.24 minutes for 100 letters. They could read 30 meaningful words in 3 minutes, but when reading something meaningless the students only read difficult 15 words in 15 minutes. General student reading was good at 86 percent, with only a few students who could not read the text. The students could understand 78 percent of the content of the reading by listening to the story and retelling the story orally. The children who were guided by parents or brothers or sisters had better reading skills. Another finding pertained to the availability of reading books besides textbooks for their reading sources. The new research results develop the students’ reading skills and can be used for developing the strategies in teaching student reading skills.

Passage Reading

The Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) is used to evaluate studies and monitor projects that address reading skills in low- and middle-income countries. Results are often described solely in terms of a passage-reading subtask, thereby overlooking progress in related skills. Using archival data of cohort samples from Uganda at two time points in three languages (Ganda, Lango, and Runyankore-Rukiga), we explored a methodology that uses passage-reading results to create five learner profiles: Nonreader, Beginner, Instructional, Fluent, and Next-Level Ready. We compared learner profiles with results on other subtasks to identify the skills students would need to develop to progress from one profile to another. We then used regression models to determine whether students’ learner profiles were related to their results on the various subtasks. We found membership in four categories. We also found a shift in the distribution of learner profiles from Grade 1 to Grade 4, which is useful for establishing program effectiveness. The distribution of profiles within grades expanded as students progressed through the early elementary grades. We recommend that those who are discussing EGRA results describe students by profiles and by the numbers that shift from one profile to another over time. Doing so would help describe abilities and instructional needs and would show changes in a meaningful way.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji peran kelancaran membaca awal terhadap pemahaman bacaan. Partisipan adalah 150 siswa kelas empat. Partisipan diberi satu set asesmen yang mencakup beberapa komponen kelancaran membaca awal dan pengukuran atas pemahaman bacaan  fiksi dan non fiksi. Kelancaran membaca awal diukur dengan Early Grade Reading Assessment yang mengukur letter name identification, segmentation (phoneme or syllables), non word reading, oral reading fluency, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, vocabulary, dan dictation.  Pemahaman bacaan fiksi dan non fiksi diukur melalui tes yang dikembangkan berdasarkan Curriculum Based Assessment dari Kurikulum 2013 Indonesia. Analisis regresi dilakukan pada penelitian ini, dan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada dua komponen kelancaran membaca awal yang berhubungan dengan pemahaman bacaan. The goal of this study was to examine the role of early reading fluency in reading comprehension. Participants were 150 fourth-grade children. They were given an assessment that included multiple components of early reading fluency, and a fiction and non fiction text to measure their reading comprehension. For early reading fluency, this study used Early Grade Reading Assessment which measures of letter name identification, segmentation (phoneme or syllables), non word reading, oral reading fluency, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and dictation. For fiction and non-fiction reading comprehension, this study use Curriculum Based Assessment from 2013 Indonesian Curriculum. Regression analyses were undertaken, the results showed that there are two component of early reading fluency which related to reading comprehension.
