ABSTRACT:
This research aims to analyse the reading ability of second-grade students at SDN 04 Kajai, Pariaman City, and to identify the difficulties they face in early reading. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, focusing on data quality and providing a detailed explanation of the results. The participants in this study consisted of 25 individuals: 17 second-grade students who were given the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) test to analyse their reading ability, 7 parents of students with reading difficulties, and 1 class teacher. The test results showed that 7 students had difficulties in early reading. Data were then collected through interviews with students and the teacher to identify the factors causing these difficulties. The results revealed that the main factors causing reading difficulties among students were a lack of attention and guidance from parents in supporting their children's reading ability at home, low student interest in learning, limited study hours at school, and the insufficient emphasis in the curriculum on developing students' reading skills.
KEYWORDS:early reading, reading difficulties, EGRA test.
