PENINGKATAN MINAT MEMBACA MELALUI READING WORKSHOP BERBASIS TEKS MULTIMODAL SISWA KELAS V SDN MANGUNJAYA 01 TAMBUN SELATAN

Abstract

Low motivation and literacy skills among elementary school students are often rooted in rigid instructional methods and a lack of student autonomy in selecting reading materials. This study aims to enhance student interest through the implementation of a Reading Workshop approach integrated with multimodal texts. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted over four cycles at SDN Mangunjaya 01. The subjects were fifth-grade elementary school students. Data were collected through classroom activity observations, reading interest questionnaires, and text comprehension tests. Data analysis was performed using both descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings indicate a gradual improvement across each cycle. Cycles I and II showed an increase in reading engagement but had not yet significantly impacted comprehension. The integration of multimodal texts in Cycle III significantly boosted student engagement and interest in reading through various media. By the end of Cycle IV, all success indicators were achieved, with students demonstrating high reading independence and a significant increase interest scores. A Reading Workshop approach that is adaptive to students' digital needs has proven effective in strengthening reading interest through a multimodal literacy ecosystem in the classroom. The teacher's ability to facilitate student autonomy is a key factor in the success of this practice.
