Study of Availability of Printed Non-Printed Instructional Media in Kindergarten to Develop Students' Reading Interest

摘要

This study focuses on seeing the printed and non-printed instructional media collection, which are available in Early Childhood Education (ECE). The developed reading interest programs are intended to enhance students' reading interest as an effort to improve their reading skills. This study uses a descriptive research method with survey technique. The data were collected from early childhood education institutions available in Kota Bandung. The background of this study is the lack of reading skills of students, from ECE level until higher educations. This has become a drawback when students cannot understand what they read. As ECE is the earliest level of formal education, therefore, it has to contribute to the development of students' reading interest. There are many kinds of fun activities that can be practiced in ECE, which are expected to internalize in students' mind and become their main capital to enter the next level of education.
