Oral reading fluency is important skill that all readers need to develop, because those who has oral reading fluency are assumed to have the skill of reading comprehension and accuracy in delivering the speech. Natural Reader software is a professional text reader that converts any text into spoken words. In this quasi-experimental research applying non-randomized control group design pretest-posttest, the data used were interval data because they were taken from students’ scores of oral reading fluency test.This research was conducted in the English department of a College of Teacher Training and Education in Blitar. Group (1) consisted of 32 students taught using the natural reader software (experimental group) and Group (2) consisted of 35 students taught without using the natural reader software (control group). The control group simply attended in their ordinary classroom without using natural reader software and participated in instruction programs assigned by the lecturer in the classroom. The experimental group attended in the computer lab and listened to the text as it was read by natural reader software. This study revealed that the Natural Reader software could significantly prove that the students was able to read more accurately and at a more appropriate pace using instruction using natural reader software. By using natural reader software, the student could easily have frequently chances to listen the words read by the native speakers as a reader model at normal speed and repeat the copied reading text up to they were able to read fluently as the reader model read the text.

This study assessed the effect of reading aloud to handler/therapy dog teams on children’s oral reading fluency using a post-test control group design with repeated measures. Forty-five children in grades 2-5 were assigned to one of two groups using a stratified random assignment designed to equate groups based on grade and sex. Both groups read aloud for 30 minutes per week for 5 weeks; Group One read with a handler/therapy dog and Group Two read to peers. After 5 weeks, the groups were reversed. Between-group and within-group differences were analyzed. Several statistically significant and large effect sizes were found. Findings generally suggested that reading aloud to an adult/therapy dog team tended to increase children’s scores on a test of oral reading fluency much more than reading aloud to peers. No significant effects were identified on a survey of general attitudes toward reading administered to the children.

The aim of this study as a preliminary study in developing the exercises to improve reading fluency of students grade 1of Primary School (SD). The study used a quasi- experimental method with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subjects were seven students in 1st grade, with age 7-8 years old, which consists of four students as an experimental group that received exercises of pronunciation as much as six times with a duration of 30-40 minutes and three students as a control group. Data on reading fluency obtained by measuring the average score of subject’s reading ability within one minute. Measuring instrument used was a single paragraph which consists of a series of words / syllables that need to be mastered by children aged 7 years old. In this exercise the students practice for using their speech muscles suit the phonetic rules, so that the resulting pronunciation becomes more precise. The results showed that in the control group there was no increase reading fluency, while in the experimental group there was three student has increased their reading fluency but not to the another one. However, there were changing in the aspects of speed and accuracy among all subjects who received the pronunciation exercises.

One of the factors that influence Kadarzi's achievement is the knowledge and attitudes of the toddler's mother. This study aims to determine the effect of counseling using backsheet media on the knowledge and attitudes of toddlers' mothers about Kadarzi in the Cipeundeuy Health Center District of West Bandung Regency. The research design used was quasi-experimental with a pre-post test control group design model with a total sample of 28 people each for the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was given an intervention in the form of counseling using flipchart media, while the control group was given an intervention in the form of counseling using leaflet media. The results obtained from the Wilcoxon test in the experimental group and the t-dependent test in the control group were changes in the increase in knowledge and attitude scores in the experimental group and the control group after intervention (p <0.005). The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between knowledge and attitude scores in the experimental group and the control group (p> 0.005). It is better to do further research related to Kadarzi's behavior so that the application of the Kadarzi indicator can be monitored so that it can describe the results of attitudinal changes, and to increase Kadarzi's knowledge and attitudes to toddler mothers.
