Abstract: The study presents a comprehensive analysis of the Marungko Approach in significantly elevating early reading skills among kindergarten learners. Initially, the student cohort displayed modest to low reading proficiency, struggling across various reading skill indicators. However, the implementation of the Marungko Approach marked a pivotal transition, with the majority of learners achieving remarkable scores, predominantly in the highest performance brackets. The intervention's success is evident across a spectrum of reading skills, encompassing the recognition of letter names and sounds, identification of initial sounds, reading of familiar words, and fluency in reading oral passages. The post-intervention analysis revealed not just a significant improvement but a uniform advancement across these diverse reading facets. This leap in performance is statistically substantiated through the analysis of t-values and p-values, which indicated significant positive shifts across all reading skill indicators. These findings not only reinforce the effectiveness of the Marungko Approach but also highlight the transformative potential of targeted instructional strategies in early education. By significantly improving literacy skills at a foundational level, the Marungko Approach sets the stage for the future academic success of young learners. This study serves as a testament to the approach's efficacy and its role as a cornerstone in shaping the educational trajectory of kindergarten students, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers in similar educational settings.
