Abstract

We can find many reading books for low grade elementary school (SD) age in bookstores. However, these books have not been equipped with the sentence structure used. Therefore, a study is needed to determine the structure of the sentence structure used. The purpose of this study is to find out the sentence structure in the 2019 literacy reading book for elementary students published by the Language Development and Development Agency in 2019. According to Indonesian Standard Grammar, the sentence structure in question is the type of sentence based on the number of clauses, the type of predicate, the category of syntax, and completeness of the elements. In this paper, the intended sentence structure is only limited by the sentence structure based on the type of predicate. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach, namely by noting the sentence structure of fourteen 2019 literacy reading books for elementary school students to see the type of predicate. The results of the study are expected to be able to show the types of sentence structure in the 2019 literacy reading books for elementary students. The results of this study are also expected to be used as a reference for teachers. parents, and book writers in selecting and writing appropriate reading books for elementary school-aged children.
