Abstract

Teaching reading functional vocabulary to students with intellectual disability (ID’s) is a challenge for teachers in special schools. They face many obstacles in teaching vocabulary which are caused by various factors, especially student characteristics and learning structures that are less practical and tend to be academic. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using word cards and picture cards to improve vocabulary reading skills in moderate ID’s students. The type of research applied is single subject research, with multiple baseline across subject designs. The research subjects were two moderately ID’s students in grade 5 and grade 2 SLB-C1 Bhakti Luhur Malang. An instructor and an observer played an important role in this study. The experimental instrument used is Lesson Plan which consists of three units, each teaching two vocabularies. Data analysis is carried out by performing graphical inspections that focus on trend, latency, and level changes. The effectiveness was confirmed by Percentage of All Non-overlapping Data (PAND) in the intervention condition against the baseline-1 condition. The results showed that with the intervention, the target behavior in the form of vocabulary understanding had a trend of grades rising gradually touching a high level of score, and settling at a high level in the baseline-2 condition. The average PAND for subject-1 reached 80.55 percent (effective), and subject-2 reached 96.67 percent (very effective).

Abstract

The ability to read is the most basic competency to master competencies in other subjects. Learning to read which was carried out at Elementary School for Children with Special Needs (SDLB) YPAC Malang City found that one out of three  students of Cerebral Palsy in 1st class had problems with early reading. One of the causes of not optimal students' reading ability is because teachers tend to only use printed books. Appropriate and interesting media is needed so that students can have reading skills as expected. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of pabami media to improve early reading skills in students of Cerebral Palsy in the 1st class at SDLB YPAC Malang. This research is a classroom action research designed in 2 cycles, each cycle consists of 3 meetings. The learning media used is pabami which is equipped with cards of letter, syllable, and word. Data were collected by observation and test techniques. Pabami media is declared effective if the posttest results in the second cycle are higher than the posttest scores in the first cycle, with learning mastery indicators reaching a value of 75 or more. The results of the study concluded that pabami media was effective for improving early reading skills of students with cerebral palsy.
