Abstract

Literacy is a basic competence that a person must have, to facilitate the learning process in his life, for good literacy skills may enable learners to properly achieve the learning goals they desire. However, before someone can master literacy skills well, someone must first master early reading as a provision for himself to understand advanced literacy skills. This is because early reading is the basis for the formation of literacy skills for a person. This study aims to determine whether the early reading relationship has an influence on literacy skills in class II students at SDN 01 Pungguk Lama, Kotabumi North Lampung regency. The approach used in this study is descriptive quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. While the population in this study were all students of class II SDN 01 Pungguk Lama with a total of 67 students divided into 3 classes namely class IIa with 20 students, class IIb 27 students and class IIIc with 20 students. The sample in this research was taken using a random sampling technique. Data collection in this study employed a pre-test and post-test techniques. The obtained data was then analyzed using the normality test, homogeneity and T test with the aim of obtaining accurate data processing results regarding the initial research hypothesis. From the results of the tests that have been carried out, it shows that there is a significant influence between the ability of early reading with the literacy skills of class II students at SDN 01 Pungguk Lama Kotabumi. This was reinforced by the acquisition of a t-count value of 13,220 with dk = n-2 (40-2 = 38), being greater than the t-table, which is 2,024. If the calculation results > t-table (13,220 > 2,024), then the hypothesis is accepted.
