Abstract

Background: Early childhood education (PAUD) has an important role in developing children's language skills, both expressive and receptive language. One effective method for improving language development is through storytelling. Storytelling can stimulate children's cognitive and linguistic abilities by providing an in-depth social and emotional context. Objectives: This study aims to how storytelling can be used effectively to improve receptive language development in early childhood. Methods: This research uses a Systematic Literature Review. This research was carried out by collecting and selecting various data from previous studies as well as the results of clinical trials conducted between 2019 and 2024 from the Google Scholar data base. Results: Storytelling that involves two-way interaction and allows children to retell or discuss stories can improve their understanding of language structure and vocabulary. Conclusion: Applying storytelling to young children can improve receptive language skills. Keywords : Storytelling, Receptive language, Early childhood

Abstract

Background: Reading ability in children aged 7-8 years is a critical foundation for academic and cognitive development. However, data indicates that 60% of Indonesian 2nd-grade students lack optimal reading fluency, facing challenges such as phonological difficulties, sentence structure comprehension, and limited literacy stimulation at home. Objectives: This study aims to analyze factors influencing reading ability in children aged 7-8 and identify effective remediation strategies. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, analyzing 5 selected articles from Google Scholar (2020–2025) using keywords related to reading fluency and school-age children. Results: Findings revealed that reading difficulties stem from internal (motivation, phonological awareness) and external factors (parental involvement, book access). Multisensory interventions, parental guidance, and balanced literacy methods significantly improved reading skills. Conclusion: Enhancing reading ability requires collaborative efforts among schools, families, and policies promoting inclusive literacy access. Keywords : School-age children, Reading ability, Reading fluency

Abstract

Background: Preterm infants often experience weak sucking reflexes due to the immaturity of the oromotor neuromuscular system. This condition leads to delays in the development of oral feeding skills, increases the risk of aspiration, and prolongs hospitalization in the NICU. Oral stimulation is a non-invasive intervention aimed at facilitating the maturation of sucking–swallowing abilities in preterm infants. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this intervention; however, a comprehensive summary of research findings is needed to strengthen clinical recommendations. Objectives: To determine the effect of oral stimulation on improving weak sucking reflexes in preterm infants. Methods: This study employed a systematic review design using a literature review approach that included five published studies from the past five years. Results: All five studies indicated that weak sucking reflexes in preterm infants are primarily caused by neuromuscular immaturity and poor suck–swallow–breathe coordination. Oral stimulation interventions—such as PIOMI, oral motor stimulation, and non-nutritive sucking—were shown to significantly improve sucking strength, sucking frequency, physiological stability, and the ability to transition to oral feeding. All studies reported accelerated achievement of full oral feeding, and most demonstrated a reduction in NICU length of stay. Conclusion: Oral stimulation has been consistently proven effective in improving the sucking reflex of preterm infants and accelerating readiness for oral feeding. This intervention is safe, easy to administer, and recommended as part of routine NICU care to support feeding maturation and enhance clinical outcomes.
