PENERAPAN FUN LITERACY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA PEMAHAMAN PADA SISWA SDN SAWAHLEGA

Reading is an everyday activity that aims to obtain information, knowledge, add
insight, and develop thinking skills for inspiration and discovery of new ideas. Reading
ability is still very low, although everyone has realized that reading ability is very
important from the growth stage, because without reading knowledge will not be easily
obtained. The low ability to read is evidence that the learning process carried out by
students in the field of education does not develop students' interest in reading. This
study aims to determine the reading comprehension skills of second grade students at
SDN Sawahlega before and after implementing fun literacy. Fun literacy or games in
the form of literacy to increase students' understanding in the learning process. This
type of research is classroom action research (CAR) with a naturalistic approach and
is not conducted to test hypotheses. The research design uses the Kurt Lewin Model,
each step consists of four stages, namely planning, implementing, observing, and
reflecting using 2 cycles. The subjects of this study were 31 second grade students at
SDN Sawahlega. The research instruments used were tests, non-tests and
documentation. Data processing techniques include observation, testing and
recording. The form of the test used is the pre test and post test. The validity test in this
study uses content and construct validity. The expected results in this study are the
application of fun literacy can be a solution regarding the low ability of students'
understanding to experience improvements or changes during the learning process.
Based on the results of research with SDN Sawahlega
II class students, it can be concluded that students' reading comprehension skills
before implementing fun literacy reached 40% of the 31 students who did not
understand the contents of their reading. Therefore, students' reading comprehension
is classified as weak and is included in the class C predicate (sufficient). the difficulty
faced by students in understanding the contents of the reading is that they cannot
concentrate on understanding the content to be read so they still need explanations
from the teacher based on their reading comprehension. The ability to read
comprehension after implementing fun literacy increases student achievement as
shown by the increase in student activity in the learning process as shown by the results
of observations during class activities. The average score of students achieved after
completing the final test from Cycle I to Cycle II using fun literacy increased from 79.6
in Cycle I to 89.6 from the ideal achieved which was 100. The completeness of class II
students at SDN Sawahlegan also increased, from 76.7% in Cycle I to 90% in Cycle II
the mastery of students with repeated classical.
