Abstract

This Research was motivated by the fact that some sixth-grade Elementary students at Kebon Jahe were not yet familiar with the alphabet and had poor basic reading skills. This situation highlights the need for learning materials tailored to the students' needs. The purpose of this study is to describe the development and use of flashcard materials supplemented with an alphabet board to support early reading skills. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The research subject was a single sixth-grade student experiencing difficulties with basic reading. The developed media was designed to provide visual and kinesthetic stimulation in reading instruction. The results of the media validation indicated an improvement. The media validation has a validity of 78.4%, while the content has a validity of 87%, thus deeming the media suitable for use. Based on the results of the validation by media and material experts, as well as student feedback, the flashcards and letter boards can be deemed valid, practical, and effective in supporting students' early reading skills. The results of the implementation indicate an improvement in students' reading skills. In the pretest phase, students were only able to recognize 5 letters of the alphabet. After four sessions of learning using the media, students were able to recognize the letters A–Z, pronounce the sounds of the letters more accurately, and begin reading simple vocabulary. Students also showed positive responses and were more enthusiastic during the learning process
