Reading is a fundamental skill that students must master at the elementary education level. However, many early-grade elementary school students face various difficulties in learning to read, such as challenges in recognizing letters, pronouncing words, and understanding texts. This study aims to explore the strategies employed by teachers to overcome reading difficulties in early-grade students. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that teachers employ various strategies, such as phonetic approaches, game-based learning, the use of visual media, and providing positive feedback to enhance students' reading abilities. Additionally, collaboration among teachers, parents, and schools proves effective in creating a conducive learning environment. This study offers practical implications for the development of innovative and inclusive reading instruction strategies to support student success at the elementary level.
