Evaluating reading comprehension ability through the SQ4R model
Resumen
ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper was to assess the reading comprehension skills of V grade students in Indonesia using the SQ4R model (Survey, Question, Reading, Reflect, Recite, Review). A sample population consisting of 30 students was selected through purposive sampling at the SDN Medan Johor. Data was collected through observation, pre-tests, and post-test examinations. The objective was to determine how the model had influenced the abilities of the participants. The results showed that SQ4R model could be used in elementary school to motivate students and make them more active in class, as well as enhance the reading comprehension skills.
