Reading skill is one that must be possessed by students. The purpose of this study was to determine the reading skills of students at SDIT Enter Serang-Banten. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach to data collection techniques carried out by direct observation and documentation studies. The subjects of this research are students.

THE EFFECT OF USING COMPOSITE PICTURES ON READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT

Reading Comprehension is the ability to read text, process it and understand the meaning. It relies on two, interconnected abilities: Word reading be able to decode the symbols on the page and language comprehension being able to understand the meaning of words and sentences . In fact, students generally feel bored and unmotivated in learning English especially in reading skill because English is different from Indonesian so that the students have difficulty in understanding reading English text. They do not know the meaning of some words in the text. Therefore, the teacher’s role becomes important in the teaching and learning process especially in teaching reading. Therefore, appropriate media should be chosen to motivate their students not only to read the text but also comprehend what they read. One of the media that can be used and applied by the teacher is Composite Pictures. A Composite Picture is a large single picture which shows a scene in which a number of people can be seen doing several things. Thus, to know whether or not there was a significant effect of using Composite Pictures on reading comprehension achievement; Composite Pictures was used as media in teaching reading in this research.

Reading Specific Small Saccades Predict Individual Phonemic Awareness and Reading Speed

Small fixational eye-movements are a fundamental aspect of vision and thought to reflect fine shifts in covert attention during active viewing. While the perceptual benefits of these small eye movements have been demonstrated during a wide range of experimental tasks including during free viewing, their function during reading remains surprisingly unclear. Previous research demonstrated that readers with increased microsaccade rates displayed longer reading speeds. To what extent increased fixational eye movements are, however, specific to reading and might be indicative of reading skill deficits remains, however, unknown. To address this topic, we compared the eye movement scan paths of 13 neurotypical individuals and 13 subjects diagnosed with developmental dyslexia during short story reading and free viewing of natural scenes. We found that during reading only, dyslexics tended to display small eye movements more frequently compared to neurotypicals, though this effect was not significant at the population level, as it could also occur in slow readers not diagnosed as dyslexics. In line with previous research, neurotypical readers had twice as many regressive compared to progressive microsaccades, which did not occur during free viewing. In contrast, dyslexics showed similar amounts of regressive and progressive small fixational eye movements during both reading and free viewing. We also found that participants with smaller fixational saccades from both neurotypical and dyslexic samples displayed reduced reading speeds and lower scores during independent tests of reading skill. Slower readers also displayed greater variability in the landing points and temporal occurrence of their fixational saccades. Both the rate and spatio-temporal variability of fixational saccades were associated with lower phonemic awareness scores. As none of the observed differences between dyslexics and neurotypical readers occurred during control experiments with free viewing, the reported effects appear to be directly related to reading. In summary, our results highlight the predictive value of small saccades for reading skill, but not necessarily for developmental dyslexia.

PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN LRD (LISTEN, READ AND DISCUSS) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN MEMBACA SISWA KELAS X IPA 2 SMAN 1 PRINGGARATA

This study concerns with Listen Read Discuss (LRD) to promote students’ reading skill. The aim of this study was to promote students’ reading skill through (LRD) technique . In this study, the researcher used classroom action research in which the datas were described in qualitative and quantitative description using the instruments of observation checklist, test and documentation. Observation was conducted to know the implementation of (LRD) technique during teaching and learning process and its datas were decribed in qualitative description, while test used to measure the students’ achievement in reading skill in form of a written test and described in quatitative description. Subject of this study was tenth- grade of SMAN 1 Pringgarata which consists of 30 students.This study was conducted in two cycles, each cycle consisted of 4 steps such as: planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The result of this research showed that (LRD) technique could promote students’ reading skill. It could be seen from the significant improvement of result in each cycle. The average of students’ score before implementing the strategy was 47, and increased into 61 in the first cycle . After doing treatment and it increased into 81 in second cycle. It means, students’ reading skill was improved and successful by applying (LRD) technique at the tenth-grade of senior high school, SMAN 1 Pringgarata.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VOCABULARY SELF-COLLECTION STRATEGY ON STUDENTS’ READING AND VOCABULARY ACHIEVEMENT: A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

This current study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Vocabulary Self-collection Strategy (henceforth VSS) on the students’ reading and vocabulary achievement. The quasi-experimental research was applied and the instruments were pretest-posttest. The independent variable of this study was VSS, while the dependents were reading skill and vocabulary mastery. To collect the data, pretest-posttest was assigned. The test for both reading skill and vocabulary mastery were validated through expert judgment and content validity. Moreover, the reliability of the instruments was measured using inter-rater reliability. The data were analyzed using parametric statistical technique of T-Test and MANOVA test using SPSS 22. Computer program. The findings of this study reveal that VSS had a significant effect toward students’ reading skill and vocabulary mastery. It was indicated by the significant value of T-Test for each reading skill and vocabulary mastery which were lower than 0.05. VSS and Lecturing-practice Strategy had different capability in influencing students’ reading skill and vocabulary mastery scores simultaneously. Also, it was indicated by the significant value of Pillar’s trace, Wilka’s Lambda, Hotellings Trace and Roy’s Largest Root tests are 0.004 which was lower than 0.05. Therefore, all of the hypothesis are accepted.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF DYSLEXIA IN SCHOOLCHILDREN

The article describes the results of the research exploring the link between the neurodynamic component of schoolchildren’s psychic activity at the age of 7-12 and the level of mastering the reading skill at school. In the process of the research, we have detected the core neuropsychological criteria correlating with the level of reading technique and text understanding in schoolchildren. The neuropsychological research was made using A.R. Luria’s battery of tests, by G.M. Glosman’s method, adapted to childhood. We also used A.N. Kornyev and O.A. Ishymova’s method of dyslexia diagnostics; texts for the research have been translated into Ukrainian. We have pointed out two age groups of children andanalyzed how neurodynamic deficiency and audio-verbal and visual memory level influence the formation of dyslexia determinants in both of them. In addition, we have addressed the link between child’s development under the age of 1, parents’ complaints at the actual time and the level of a child’s reading technique.
