- Abstract
Various research has found that students’ reading abilities in Indonesia need to be improved. Several difficulties are the cause of students’ low early reading skills. To effectively solve these problems requires a deeper understanding of how early reading learning is currently implemented. This paper discusses an ethnographic study at a private elementary school in Bandung City, Indonesia, aiming to gain an in-depth understanding of early reading learning in that school. The respondents in this study are four teachers and 195 students of first-grade classes who participated in early reading learning. Data was collected via interview and observation to be analyzed based on component analysis focusing on the methods and techniques, media, and difficulties of early reading learning. The findings show that teachers mostly employed the SAS method and observational learning (modeling) technique to teach early reading learning. They also used teaching media such as books, flashcards, direct objects, videos, and hand puppets. The most prominent difficulties that students faced in early reading learning included difficulties in recognizing letters, pronunciation being influenced by mother tongue, difficulties in combining double consonants/vowels sound, difficulties in reading fluently, and difficulties in comprehension.
