ABSTRACK

Literal reading comprehension is an essential skill for elementary school students, especially for slow learners who often face difficulties in understanding texts due to cognitive limitations and the lack of appropriate learning media. This study aims to develop an interactive digital learning media called TEKSI to improve the reading comprehension skills of slow learner students and to examine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, involving 8 slow learner students from grade II at SDN Jiwan 02, Madiun Regency. The instruments used include expert validation sheets, observation sheets, and reading comprehension tests (pre-test and post-test). The results show that the TEKSI media is highly valid (91%), very practical, and significantly effective in enhancing students’ reading comprehension skills (effectiveness rate of 95%). The media also promotes student engagement and independent learning. Therefore, TEKSI is declared valid, practical, and effective for use in improving the reading comprehension skills of slow learner students.
