Abstract

This study aims to find out what problems students often face when they learn to understand what they read, what makes these problems happen, and how these problems differ based on how students like to learn. It looked at students in class XI.A at SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf. The study used a questionnaire called The VARK 8.0, and interviews. The results showed that students usually struggle with long the text is, the student's interest, how the teacher explains things, the student's background, physical problems, technical problems, and not having enough time. In the interviews, students talked about how their learning style affects their reading problems. For example, visual learners struggle with long texts, auditory learners have trouble with vocabulary, read/write learners find it hard to finish in time, and kinesthetic learners have issues with vocabulary and pronouncing words. Overall, the biggest problems for all learning styles were related to vocabulary and pronunciation.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of implementing the Guided Reading method in increasing the reading literacy of students at SMPN 40 Makassar. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a single group control pre-test and post-test design. The research sample consisted of two classes, where one class was used as an experimental group that received the Guided Reading method treatment, while the other class acted as a control group that received conventional learning. Data was collected through reading literacy tests before and after treatment, as well as through observation of the learning process. The results of the data analysis show a significant increase in the reading literacy scores of students who took part in learning using the Guided Reading method compared to the control group. In addition, observations revealed a higher level of involvement and interest from students in learning using the Guided Reading method. These findings confirm that the effective application of the Guided Reading method can improve the reading ability of SMPN 40 Makassar students and stimulate their interest in the learning process. The practical implication of this research is the importance of considering the use of appropriate learning methods in increasing reading literacy at the secondary school level. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute to the development of more effective learning strategies to improve students’ reading skills in secondary schools.
