Abstract

The research is motivated by field observations of the low reading comprehension skill of fourth-graded students at SDN 07 Binuang Kampung Dalam Padang City. Students tend to have difficulty finding explicit information, reorganizing information, discovering implied meanings in narrative texts, evaluating the content of narrative texts, and relating the messages of narrative texts to everyday life. Therefore, this study aims to improve reading comprehension skills in narrative texts through the application of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model. the study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with qualitative and quantitative approachhes,conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included tests and nontes, with the research subjects being the teacher as observer and 20 fourth-grade students. The results indicate an increase in reading comprehension skills in narrative texts from cycle I to cycle II. The results og the RPPM assessment increased from 91.07% (SB) in cycle I to 100% (SB) in cycle II. The results of teacher activity observations increased from 91.07% (SB) in cycle I to 96.42% (SB) in cycle II, while student activity increased from 87.49% (B) in cycle I to 96.42% (SB) in cycle II. The assesment of learning outcomes consisting of attitude scores increased from 73.25 (C) in cycle I to 84.5 (B) in cycle II, knowledge scores increased from 81.63 in cycle I to 95 (SB) in cycle II and the value of reading comprehension skills of narrative texts increased from 79.71 (C) in cycle I to 95.96 (SB) in cycle II thus, it can be concluded that the CIRC model is able to improve the reading comprehension skills of narrative texts of students in grade IV of SDN 07 Binuang Kampung Dalam, Padang City.
