b. Iylia Natasya Binti Anuar

3. NAME OF SCHOOL AND ADDRESS :

Sekolah Menengah Agama Bugisiah Tampok, 82200 Benut, Pontian, Johor.

4. REFLECTION FROM TEACHING AND LEARNING LESSON :

b. Students are lack of confidence during reading aloud in the class especially in
front of their friends.
c. Students were having problems with their pronunciation while reading
(especially words in past tense forms)
d. Reading habit is lack among most students especially English reading materials.

5. RESEARCH FOCUS
This action research is intended to determine the effectiveness of “Read It Right”
programme in helping 10 of 5 Tahfiz students to develop their reading skills. This skill
includes their pronunciation, intonation and fluency. This programme will apply
‘Repeated Reading’ Strategies as its main course to achieve the objective. The
programme consists of 3 stages; pre-reading test – repeated reading practice – post
reading test.

This action research will take approximately 2 months (8 weeks) from early March
until end of May 2018. All the data from the pre-test and post-test will be collected
and analysed to see if there is any improvement in the students’ reading skill.

6. OBJECTIVES :
Teachers use this repeated reading strategy to help the students develop fluency
and comprehension while reading. This method was designed to help students who
have little to no experience with reading fluently to gain confidence, speed and
process words automatically.

7. TARGET GROUP
10 students from class 5 Tahfiz, SMA Bugisiah

8. METHODS TO APPLY THE ACTION RESEARCH

a. Teachers do some reflection during and after the class to identify the problems faced
by the students
b. Teachers choose 10 students with very weak reading skill
c. Pre-test is given to the 10 students to record their pronunciations mistakes and
fluency (time-based).
 d. The ‘repeated reading’ class will be held after the school hour for 30 minutes, 3
times a week).
e. After 8 weeks, teachers will do post-test on the students to see if there is any
improvement in the students’ intonation, pronunciation and fluency.
f. Teachers analyse the data and do the final report.

THESE ARE COME GUIDELINES DURING THE READING CLASS

During the class, students will do repeated reading in 3 stages; individual, partners and
whole class.

Here are some guidelines and steps to follow when you use the repeated reading strategy:

1. Choose a story that is approximately 50-200 words. (A passage that is 100 words
long seems to work the best).
2. Select a story or passage that is decodable verse predicable.
3. Select a few words that you think will be hard for the students to learn and explain
them.
4. Read the story or passage you chose aloud to the students.
5. Have students read the selected passage aloud.
6. Have students re-read the passage as many times as needed until the text is fluent.

Individual

Students will sit in front of the teacher and read the text given for 3-4 times. Teacher will
correct any mistakes during the reading process. After the students pronounce all the
words correctly, students will move to the next stage (partner reading)

Partner Reading

This is where two students are grouped into pairs who are on the same reading level.

1. Group students into pairs.

2. Have the first reader read the text to their partner three times.
3. While the student is reading the partner take notes and helps with words as needed.
4. Students then switch roles and repeat the process.
5. Finally, have them read a passage together in unison.

Whole Class Reading (Echo Reading)

Echo reading is a wonderful way for students to practice their phrasing and expression
while instilling confidence in their reading. In this activity, the student follows along with
their finger while the teacher reads a short passage. Once the teacher stops, the student
echoes back what the teacher just read.
 Quick Tip

 Build students site word knowledge by using word walls, bingo, flashcards and speed
drills.
 Practice reading with appropriate texts.
 Allow students to choose what they read from a few passages you choose.
 Enlist parents or volunteers to help when practicing re-reading skills.
