Literature Study: Analysis of Causative Factors and Strategies for Handling Early Reading Difficulties in Elementary Students in Elementary School

Riiri Putri Anjani, Candra Utama

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the causative factors and strategies for handling early reading difficulties in elementary school students. The method used is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing 15 scientific journal articles published from 2017 to 2025 which were selected through the PRISMA guidelines and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that initial reading difficulties were caused by intellectual, environmental, and psychological factors, with the type of difficulty that included the inability to recognize letters, read syllables, and sentences in their entirety. Strategies implemented by teachers to overcome this include tutoring, motivation, and the use of alphabet methods, letter cards, spelling, and dictation. These findings show that systematic and collaborative interventions between teachers, parents, and schools are essential in effectively improving students' basic literacy skills.
