Reading Comprehension Skill Using Graphic Organizer for Elementary School Students

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a substantial skill in elementary school. If children
have the skill to read, facing other lesson would be easy. This study employs a
quantitative descriptive method that aims at explaining numbers in words. The
result showed that the average of students' reading skill after being exposed to
graphic organizer-based reading comprehension teaching materials in
determining the basic thoughts was of 63.75, and students' skill in explaining
information was 71.04. At this stage, their skill was considered good enough, so
that an improvement to design teaching materials and trainings should be
facilitated for the teachers.
