Sabrina Sabrina, Nura Akrima

Abstract


This study investigated the effectiveness of pop-up books in enhancing reading comprehension among junior high school students. Reading is a fundamental skill that serves as the foundation for academic achievement, yet many students struggle with comprehension due to unengaging learning materials. A quantitative experimental design was employed, involving 15 seventh-grade students as participants. The study utilized pre-test and post-test instruments to measure students' reading comprehension before and after using pop-up books. The findings revealed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension scores after using pop-up books,with an average increase of 19 points between the pre-test and post-test scores. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test confirmed the effectiveness of pop-up books, with t-count (7.84) exceeding the critical value of t-table (2.145) at a significance level of 0.05. These findings suggest that pop-up books are an effective medium for improving reading comprehension and fostering a positive reading experience.
