The purposes of notices are based on the message written in the notice. Notices use simple
words with simple fonts written on a placard or notice board.

STUDENT OVERVIEW
1. The students in our class are cognitively average and heterogeneous. There are no
students with special needs in our school.
2. The students at our school come from families with middle and upper economic class.
In terms of material, they are full of wealth.
3. Most students already have a gadget in the form of a cellphone, IPAD or laptop. Thus,
it seems that students have easier access to material from their devices.

STUDENT DIFFICULTIES WITH THE MATERIALS

1. Students have a less enthusiastic reading interest.
2. Students are less careful in reading the material and questions presented.
3. Sometimes students only focus on interesting pictures and pay less attention to the
writings listed on the NOTICE.
4. Some students have limited vocabulary/vocabulary, so it is difficult to understand the
content of the text presented.

PROBLEM SOLVING
From this analysis, several problem-solving solutions can be drawn as follows:
1. Cultivate students' reading interest slowly but surely.
2. Parents and schools must provide good, illustrated, high-quality and up-to-date reading
books.
3. Teachers must provide interesting teaching methods.
4. Teachers must be able to use contemporary learning media so that students do not get
bored.
