Abstract

The low initial reading ability of lower grade students with special needs is a major problem that must be addressed immediately. This effort can be done by integrating the SAS method with learning media in the form of wayang huruf. This research was conducted with a descriptive survey design. The sample in this study consisted of 105 teachers represented from several provinces in Java, such as West Java, Jakarta, Central Java, and Yogyakarta. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed via a link with a presentation in the form of a google form. The questionnaire used was closed and contained 30 statements. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative data analysis with a descriptive approach. There are several findings in this study, including teachers showed a high level of agreement on the need to develop the SAS (Structural-Analytical-Synthetic) method assisted by wayang huruf media in language learning, especially in early reading skills. The integration of SAS and wayang huruf is considered to strengthen the analytical and synthetic processes in early reading, making learning more concrete, enjoyable, and meaningful as long as it is supported by implementation strategies, mentoring, and adequate facilities. The need to develop the SAS method assisted by wayang huruf is a logical response to the demands for improving the quality of language learning in lower grades. The findings of this study are expected to provide useful insights for adaptive learning methods and media and provide practical recommendations for teachers in implementing innovative and interactive learning approaches and supporting the learning process for children with special needs.
