Keyword: Interest in Reading. Glenn Doman Learning Model Based on Multimedia INTRODUCTION Reading is a window to the world which is one of the sentences that we often hear from childhood until now. By reading we can find out about the issues that occur in the world. Reading can increase intelligence, know information and also deepen knowledge. The more often we read, the more insight and knowledge we get. But the less often we read the knowledge we have is increasingly limited. So, reading is the main key in obtaining information and knowledge. With this knowledge we are able to solve a problem that occurs in life. Without knowledge, of course we will find many difficulties in solving every problem we face (Rahman, 2017: . The main activity in the learning and teaching process at school is reading. Because reading is the main key in achieving student success in learning. Reading is a thinking process which includes understanding, telling, interpreting the meaning of written symbols by involving sight, eye movements, inner speech, and memory (Harianto, 2020: . According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) reading is a process of activities carried out and used to get the message the writer wants to convey, and to understand the contents of what is written orally or only in the heart. interpret the meaning of written This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License.

According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) reading is a process of activities carried out and used to get the message the writer wants to convey, and to understand the contents of what is written orally or only in the heart. interpret the meaning of written symbols by involving sight, eye movement, inner speech, and memory (Harianto, 2020:. According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) reading is a process of activities carried out and used to get the message the writer wants to convey, and to understand the contents of what is written orally or only in the heart. Based on the results of preliminary observations that the author has made, the majority of students at SD Negeri Rameuan. Suka Makmue District. Nagan Raya Regency, are still lacking in interest in reading, which can be seen when the learning process is carried out, there are still many students who are unable to read due to the low interest that exists in students. It can be seen from class II of SD Negeri Rameuan, based on observations that interest in reading in this class is still lacking so that students are still difficult to understand learning, out of 25 students . %) almost all students have no interest in reading, after the researchers made observations, there were 15 students ( 60%) could not read and there were 10 students . %) who could read and quickly understood learning. Lack of motivation to read in students is influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors, namely factors that come from within students can be seen from the number of students who are less motivated in reading because children spend more time playing with friends. while external factors are factors that come from outside such as lack of support from parents, the surrounding environment, and are also influenced by increasingly sophisticated technology.

Multimedia-Based Glenn Doman Model The Multimedia-Based Glenn Doman Method is a method further developed by Glenn Doman by utilizing advanced information technology, designed using mixed multimedia methods and matching between audio, visual and text. The Glenn Doman Method is a method of teaching children to read and recognize letters. by using flash cards so students will have the ability to be confident, imaginative (Ahmadi, 2010:. Steps In Teaching The Glenn Doman Method According to Indriana . n Angreany, 2017: . in teaching using the Glenn Doman Method there are several steps, namely: . The cards that have been arranged are held at chest level and face the student . Remove the cards one by one after the teacher finishes explaining . Give the cards that have been explained to students who are close to the teacher. Ask students to observe the card, then pass it on to other students until all students observe. If the presentation uses the game method: Place the cards randomly in a box far from the students. Prepare students who will compete and the teacher instructs students to look for cards that contain the appropriate picture, text or symbol. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The type of research used is Class Action Research (CAR), which is an attempt to examine the learning activities of a group of students by providing an action that is deliberately raised. The purpose of this classroom action research is to improve learning. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License. This article by Author Asian Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis Open Access Asian Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis AJOMRA Improvements are made gradually and continuously during the research activities carried out. PTK is carried out in the form of a repeating cycle in which there are four main stages of activity namely Planning. Action. Observation, and Reflection. The choice of this strategy is considered appropriate because the problem raised in this study is a problem that occurs in class II of SD Negeri Rameuan. Suka Makmue District. Nagan Raya Regency, namely the students' low interest in reading. In the process of action carried out in this study, efforts were made so that the problems that occurred could be handled, as well as to improve the quality of students' interest in reading in learning. The subjects in this study were 25 grade II students of SD Negeri Rameuan. Suka Makmue District. Nagan Raya Regency. The research was carried out in a series of spiralshaped steps. Each step has four stages, namely planning, acting, observing, and reflecting according to (Suwandi, 2013: . RESULT AND DISCUSSION Cycle I The activities carried out in the implementation of cycle 1 include planning, implementing actions, observing . on the implementation of actions and reflection, observing . the implementation of cycle 1 actions includes observing teacher activities and observing student activities. Each activity can be explained as follows: Planning There are several activities carried out at the planning stage, namely preparing a learning implementation plan (RPP) related to the theme of caring for animals and plants, preparing observation sheets, which include observing teacher activities and observing student activities. Implementation At this stage, the researcher realized the learning plan that had been formulated in the lesson plan. The stages that have been arranged in the lesson plan are then carried out in the class. The stages that have been described are as follows: The teacher greets, asks how the students are doing, takes attendance. This was followed by a prayer led by a student. Students are asked to check the neatness and cleanliness of the class. The teacher tells students the theme of the lesson to be delivered. The teacher guides students in reading a text that uses cursive letters and circles the capital letters contained in the text. The teacher introduces the letters of the alphabet and vowels in the Multimedia-Based Glenn Doman learning model, namely in the form of illustrated letter cards. The teacher shows several cards, where the cards contain a word, the teacher removes the cards one by one telling the students to read the name on the card until it is repeated so that it is easy to remember the The teacher completes the learning process by using the Glenn Doman learning model based on The teacher summarizes the results of learning and provides reinforcement in the material. The teacher gives an evaluation. The reading results obtained from cycle I can be seen from the teacher's efforts in increasing students' interest in reading. On the teacher observation sheet observed by the observer teacher, the percentage value 14% was included in the (Goo.
