Pengaruh Metode Orton Gillingham Terhadap Kemampuan Membaca Pada Siswa Kelas II Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

Reading ability is defined as the ability of students to recognize letters,
words, and sentences, and understand the meaning of the writing that is
read. The results of interviews with grade II teachers of SDN Balongdowo
65% of 20 students have not read fluently due to several factors, namely,
lack of parental attention when assisting learning to read at home,
intellectual factors, and lack of interest in learning to read. The OrtonGillingham method is a structured method oriented to sounds and letters
that are learned in a multisensory manner. This study aims to determine
whether there is an effect of using the orton-gillingham method in
improving reading skills in grade II elementary school students using a quantitative approach experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest
Control Group Design research design that requires experimental and
control groups. The output results of the independent sample t-test test
obtained a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.017 <0.05, meaning that there was a
significant average difference in posttest scores between the experimental
and control classes. So it is concluded that there is an effect of using the
Orton-Gilligham method on the reading ability of grade II elementary
school students.
