<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the beginning writing ability of first-grade students at SD Negeri 13 Tambun Sungkean and the factors influencing it. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, writing tests, and interviews as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that students’ beginning writing ability varies. Out of 20 students, 7 students (35%) were categorized as Very Well Developed (BSB), 8 students (40%) as Developed as Expected (BSH), 3 students (15%) as Beginning to Develop (MB), and 2 students (10%) as Not Yet Developed (BB). Overall, 75% of students achieved the expected level or higher, while 25% still require further assistance. The main difficulties identified include inconsistent letter size, unstable strokes, and lack of neatness. Factors influencing students’ writing ability include internal factors (fine motor skills and learning concentration) and external factors (parental support and teaching methods). These findings indicate the need for more varied instructional strategies and stronger parental support to optimize students’ early writing development.]]>
