Abstract

Reading (membaca) merupakan salah satu keterampilan bahasa yang perlu dikembangkan pada berbagai jenis pendidikan agar siswa mampu memahami isi bacaan dengan baik. Teks naratif adalah salah satu teks yang harus diajarkan pada siswa menengah atas. Namun, kenyataan dilapangan masih banyak siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami teks naratif. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti strategi yang digunakan siswa dalam membaca teks naratif kurang  efektif, kurangnya kosa kata yang dimiliki siswa, teks yang diberikan oleh guru kurang menarik perhatian siswa, dan kesulitan siswa dalam mengembangkan pengetahuan dasar yang mereka miliki. Dikarenakan oleh beberapa hal ini, penulis tertarik untuk mengangkat dan mengajukan Very Important Point (VIP) sebagai salah satu strategi yang dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa dalam membaca khususnya teks naratif. Dalam penerapan strategi ini, guru memberikan sebuah teks dan sticky note sebanyak enam potongan. Kemudian siswa diminta membaca teks dan menandai hal-hal penting seperti ide pokok dan kalimat pendukung dengan menggunakan sticky note yang telah disediakan guru. Setelah selesai, guru kemudian akan meminta siswa untuk membuat tabel pada buku catatan mereka dan menuliskan apa poin-poin penting yang mereka pilih dan menuliskan alasan mereka atas pilihan tersebut. Pada tahap akhir, siswa akan duduk berkelompok dan mengemukakan pendapat dan alasan mereka terhadap poin-poin penting yang mereka pilih dan guru akan membimbing siswa selama diskusi berlangsung. Kemudian guru akan memberikan siswa beberapa soal pertanyaan terkait dengan teks bacaan. Siswa diharapkan mampu menjawab soal pertanyaan dengan benar dengan adanya bantuan sticky note yang memudahkan siswa untuk melihat poin-poin penting pada teks bacaan.  Strategi ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami isi teks terutama teks naratif secara lebih mendalam.
