Abstract

Low reading ability in first-grade elementary school students is a serious problem that impacts the overall learning process. This research was motivated by initial findings at SD Negeri 1 Andalan showing that out of 23 first-grade students, only 5 were fluent readers, 15 experienced difficulties, and 3 had disabilities. This study aims to describe the reading ability of first-grade students, identify the factors causing low reading ability, and analyze its impact on students' learning processes at SD Negeri 1 Andalan in the 2025/2026 Academic Year. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects included 23 first-grade students, the class teacher, and the principal. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from May 21 to June 12, 2026. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and validated through source, technique, and time triangulation. The results showed that 15 students faced specific difficulties such as not knowing letters, difficulty distinguishing b-d/p-q/m-n, difficulty combining letters, and failing to understand text meaning. Internal causal factors include low interest and motivation, immature cognitive development, and low concentration. External factors include a lack of parental attention (mostly laborers), negative influences of TV and gadgets, playmate influences, limited teaching methods, and inadequate facilities. The impacts involve impaired understanding of materials, slow task completion, decreased class participation, and learning dependency. Collaboration between teachers and parents, along with innovative teaching methods, is necessary to address this issue.
