This study aims to determine the improvement of elementary school students' reading comprehension skills through the application of overview, key ideas, read, record, recite, review and reflect methods. This research is motivated by the lack of students' ability to understand the reading text that is read. This research is a classroom action research. Data collection techniques in this study were observation, students' reading comprehension test and documentation. While the data analysis technique used is a qualitative descriptive analysis technique with a percentage. Based on research and data analysis that the application of overview, key ideas, read, record, recite, review and reflect methods can improve students' reading comprehension skills. This can be seen from the test results of students' reading comprehension before the action only reached an average of 58.42 with classical completeness of 42.85% or classified as poor. After applying the overview, key ideas, read, record, recite, review and reflect methods in the first cycle, the students' reading comprehension ability increased by an average of 72.28 with a classical completeness of 66.66% or quite good. In the second cycle, the results of students' reading comprehension increased by an average of 81.23 with classical completeness of 85.71% or classified as good. Thus it can be concluded that the overview, key ideas, read, record, recite, review and reflect methods can improve the reading comprehension ability of elementary school students.

This research is motivated by a phenomenon that occurs in the field, namely students have difficulty in reading comprehension. This can be seen from the low scores obtained by students in reading comprehension. This phenomenon makes researchers interested in conducting research. This study aims to obtain information about the effect of using the Jigsaw method and reading interest on reading comprehension skills for elementary school students. This type of research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method. Sampling technique The sample in the population is taken using the Simple Random Sampling (SRS) technique. The research data were collected using a reading interest questionnaire and a reading comprehension skill test. The results showed that: (1) the reading comprehension skills of students who were taught using the jigsaw method were higher than the students' reading comprehension skills taught by the conventional method, (2) the reading comprehension skills of students who had high reading interest taught by the jigsaw method were higher. than the reading comprehension skills of students who have high reading interest who are taught by conventional methods, (3) the reading comprehension skills of students who have low reading interest who are taught by the jigsaw method are higher than the reading comprehension skills of students who have low reading interest who are taught by conventional methods , and (4) there is no significant interaction between the jigsawl method and students' reading interest on reading comprehension skills. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that reading comprehension skills for elementary school students increase when using the jigsaw method and are associated with reading interest.

This study aims at identifying the effectiveness of Cooperative Integrated Reading Composition (CIRC) Learning Model on Reading Comprehension Skills, the Preview Question Read Reflect Recite Review (PQ4R) Learning Model on Reading Comprehension Skills and the differences in terms of effectiveness between the two learning models on the Reading Comprehension Skills of Grade V students in elementary school. The study was quasi-experimental research with pretest, posttest non-equivalent group design. The sample for this study was taken from Grade V students from Task Force 1 Lendah Kulon Progo. Simple random sampling technique was applied to select samples. Then, in order to identify the effectiveness of CIRC Learning Model and PQ4R Learning Model collected data were analysed by running the t-test and the ANOVA with the assistance of SPSS   software version 22. The results of the study show that both CIRC and PQ4R have been effective for exercising the Reading Comprehension Skills with significance rate 0.000 < 0.050. However, both models are insignificant for exercising the Reading Comprehension Skills to the Grade V students with significance rate 0.828 > 0.050.

Reading is a very important skill that must be mastered by elementary school students, in the implementation of learning the teacher also provides a large contribution so that it is required to be able to develop teaching materials as a professional requirement. This research is a classroom action research using graphic organizer teaching materials in reading in the fourth grade of SDN 38 Pekanbaru with a total of 24 students. Before the implementation of learning in advance the implementation plan of learning was validated by several experts and practitioners with the results of the identity aspect validation obtained an average of 87 with a very decent category, and the assessment aspect obtained an average of 98 with a very decent feasible category. The results of the implementation of teacher activities in cycle I have obtained an average of 79% at meeting 1, meeting 2 obtained an average of 83%, meeting 3 obtained an average of 88% and meeting 4 obtained an average of 92%. The results of the research activities of meeting 1 student have obtained an average of 75%, meeting 2 was obtained an average of 79%, meeting 3 was obtained an average of 83%, and meeting 4 obtained an average of 88%. The results of the assessment of reading comprehension with the use of graphic organizer teaching materials from a base score of 42.50, the first cycle obtained an average of 71.88, the second cycle obtained an average of 76.88, with an increase from the base score to the first cycle obtained by 29, 38% while from the basic score to the second cycle obtained an average of 34.38%. The results of this study prove that the implementation of teaching materials to read the graphic organizer is able to improve reading comprehension skills.

ABSTRACT Reading comprehension is a competence that everyone has to possess. It can broaden human’s insight in that we will not be left behind as time goes so fast. One of the teachers’ efforts as to enhance the reading comprehension competence is to apply a learning model that is able to explore a lot of students’ potency. The learning model considered to be capable of developing the students’ creative-thinking is a generative model. Based on the result of data analysis, it is known that the process of reading-comprehension learning runs well in full activity of students. The students’ tendency to the learning of reading comprehension using such a model is positive in the means of 75.10%. The generative learning model succeeds in enhancing the students’ competence of reading comprehension. The means of score before the treatment is only 53.80%, whereas after the treatment it gets 72% in which the index gain is 0.41 and it is categorized into mediocre. There is difference of reading-comprehension competence between the use of generative learning model and conventional model. It is proven by t-test, indicating that t-observed is higher than t-table. Therefore, the generative learning model is effective and reasonable to use for the teachers in the improvement of stduents’ reading-comprehension competence.
