Abstract

This research aims to analyze the factors that cause elementary students' beginning

reading difficulties and teachers' efforts in overcoming them, with a case study at

SD Negeri Triwidadi. The research method used a qualitative approach with data

collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The

research subjects included the principal, first grade teacher, and students. Data

were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data collection, data

reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity testing through

triangulation of techniques and sources. The results showed that early reading

difficulties were caused by internal and external factors. Internal factors include low

motivation, concentration problems, and fear and lack of confidence. Meanwhile,

external factors include lack of parental support, unsupportive environment, and less

varied learning methods. To overcome this, teachers apply various strategies, such

as individual guidance, repetition of material, use of interesting media, and

collaboration with parents. The success of these efforts relies heavily on cooperation

between teachers, students and families. This study concludes that a holistic

approach, involving the roles of teachers, students and parents, is essential in

overcoming early reading difficulties. Recommendations from this study are the

need to increase the variety of learning methods and strengthen communication

between schools and parents.
