<![CDATA[Listening skills are one of the main foundations of language mastery in elementary schools that underline students' understanding of information during the learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model assisted by the Let's Read media on the listening skills of fifth-grade students regarding the intrinsic elements of stories at SDN Purwamekar. This study adopted a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental research type with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The study sample consisted of 52 fifth-grade students, divided into an experimental class (26 students) and a control class (26 students). Data were collected through written tests consisting of a pretest and a posttest. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model assisted by Let's Read had a significant effect on students' listening skills, with a coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.561, contributing 56.1%. Therefore, the Numbered Head Together (NHT) model assisted by Let's Read can serve as an effective learning alternative to improve elementary school students' listening skills. ABSTRAK Keterampilan menyimak merupakan salah satu fondasi utama dalam penguasaan bahasa di sekolah dasar yang mendasari pemahaman informasi siswa selama proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Numbered Head Together (NHT) berbantuan media Let’s Read terhadap keterampilan menyimak siswa kelas V pada materi unsur intrinsik cerita di SDN Purwamekar. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis eksperimen kuasi (quasi experiment) serta desain Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 52 siswa kelas V yang terbagi ke dalam kelas eksperimen (26 siswa) dan kelas kontrol (26 siswa). Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes tertulis berupa pretest dan posttest. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensial menggunakan analisis regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Numbered Head Together (NHT) berbantuan Let’s Read memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap keterampilan menyimak siswa dengan nilai koefisien determinasi (R Square) sebesar 0,561 atau berkontribusi sebesar 56,1%. Dengan demikian, model Numbered Head Together (NHT) berbantuan Let’s Read efisien digunakan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran yang efektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menyimak siswa di sekolah dasar. ]]>
