Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' difficulties in determining the main idea in narrative reading texts among fourth-grade students of SD Inpres 1 Birobuli. The research used a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that students struggled to distinguish between main and supporting sentences, comprehend vocabulary, and identify the main idea across multiple paragraphs. These difficulties stemmed from internal factors such as low critical thinking skills, lack of reading interest, and low self-confidence, as well as external factors including monotonous teaching methods, limited instructional media, and an unsupportive learning environment. Although teachers attempted to address these challenges through explanation, lecturing, and examples, the strategies still require improvement to become more effective and interactive. This research is expected to serve as a reference for teachers in designing more targeted and student-centered reading instruction strategies
