This article discusses the application of Basic Reading Kit early model in the learning of Malay Language among remedial education children. The developed early model was related to letter recognition and graphical knowledge. The development of this Basic Reading Kit early model involved four phases namely selection, development, execution, and adaptation of which these phases were applied throughout a month-long pilot test. This research used both quantitative and qualitative approaches in collecting the data. The subjects selected were five year three students who were undergoing remedial education class in Johor Bahru, Johor. The instruments utilized in this research included both verbal and non-verbal tests. Two types of test were administered – before and after the Basic Reading Kit early model had been exposed to the children. The data illustrate that there was an increment of 3.17% in the children’s performance after the teaching and learning using the Basic Reading Kit early model (when the three learning outcomes [LO] be summed up). Even though there was no percentage increase seen in LO 2, LO 1 shows an increment of 1.54%, while in LO 3, the increase was 7.5 % as compared to the test result before the application of Basic Reading Kit early model. The data portrays the effectiveness of the application of Basic Reading Kit early model in the teaching and learning of reading among remedial education children.Keywords: early model, Basic Reading Kit, remedial education children, pilot test, learning outcomes

ABSTRAK: Makalah ini membicarakan tentang pengaplikasian model awal Kit Asas Membaca dalam pembelajaran bahasa Melayu kanak-kanak pemulihan khas. Model awal yang dibina adalah berkaitan dengan pengecaman huruf dan pengetahuan grafik. Pembinaan model awal Kit Asas Membaca ini melibatkan empat tahap, iaitu penentuan, pembangunan, penggunaan, dan penyesuaian yang diaplikasikan melalui kajian rintis selama sebulan. Kajian ini juga menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif dan kualitatif dalam pengumpulan data. Subjek yang dipilih merupakan lima orang pelajar darjah tiga yang mengikuti kelas pemulihan khas di Johor Bahru, Johor. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah ujian lisan dan bukan lisan. Dua jenis ujian dijalankan, iaitu sebelum dan selepas penggunaan model awal Kit Asas Membaca didedahkan kepada mereka. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapatnya peningkatan pencapaian sebanyak 3.17 % selepas pengajaran dan pembelajaran (P&P) menggunakan model awal Kit Asas Membaca apabila ketiga-tiga hasil pembelajaran (HP) dijumlahkan. Dapatan HP 1 menunjukkan wujudnya peningkatan sebanyak 1.54%, manakala HP 3 pula sebanyak 7.5% sebelum dan selepas P&P menggunakan model awal Kit Asas Membaca. Walau bagaimanapun, tiada peningkatan peratusan pencapaian bagi HP 2 sebelum dan selepas P&P menggunakan model awal Kit Asas Membaca. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapatnya keberkesanan pengaplikasian model awal Kit Asas Membaca sebelum dan selepas P&P membaca kepada kanak-kanak pemulihan khas.Kata kunci: model awal, Kit Asas Membaca, kanak-kanak pemulihan khas, kajian rintis, hasil pembelajaran
