Abstract


This study is motivated by the continued occurrence of initial reading difficulties among second-grade students at SDN 114/VII Bukit Kalimau Ulu. This study aims to identify the types of initial reading difficulties experienced by students, the factors contributing to these difficulties, and the efforts made by teachers and parents to overcome them. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students experience difficulties in recognizing and distinguishing letters, spelling vocabulary, combining letters into words, reading unfamiliar words, retaining information, and achieving reading fluency. The contributing factors consist of internal and external factors, including suboptimal cognitive abilities, limited vocabulary, low learning motivation, hearing impairments, insufficient family support, limited learning facilities, and less varied teaching methods. Efforts made by teachers and parents to address these difficulties include providing guidance, reading exercises, individual assistance, and learning motivation.

Keywords
