Respon Siswa Terhadap Bahan Ajar Membaca Berbasis Kearifan Lokal

Abstract

Among the types of reading, reading comprehension is considered as the most complex since it involves the knowledge and experience that the reader already has and is associated with the content of the reading. At the elementary school level, this ability has not received maximum attention, especially from teachers. One of the efforts that can be made by teachers to improve this skill is by developing reading material that is relevant to the students lifes, which in this case are based on local wisdom. By developing teaching materials that suit the needs of students, the learning process is supposed to be more effective so that it has an impact on the quality of learning. This article aims to provide an overview of students' responses to the developed reading teaching materials based on local wisdom. The data collection technique itself uses a questionnaire consisting of several simple statements. It was distributed to 5 grader students at SDN Cigugur, Kuningan Regency.
