Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas II SD Negeri 6 Perembang Nyuruh, sedangkan objek penelitian adalah penerapan metode berpasangan berbantuan kartu kata untuk meningkatkan kelancaran membaca siswa. Instrumen penelitian meliputi lembar Alat Penilaian Kemampuan Guru (APKG) 1 dan APKG 2, lembar observasi, serta hasil belajar siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui penilaian APKG 1 dan APKG 2, observasi, dan tes hasil belajar siswa. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menganalisis hasil penilaian APKG, observasi, dan hasil belajar siswa. Kriteria keberhasilan penelitian ditetapkan berdasarkan kemampuan membaca dengan nilai rata-rata 6–7 dalam kategori lancar serta pencapaian Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) sebesar 75. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan hasil belajar siswa dari siklus I ke siklus II. Pada siklus I, persentase ketuntasan belajar mencapai 33,33% dengan nilai rata-rata 60,2. Pada siklus II, persentase ketuntasan meningkat menjadi 80% dengan nilai rata-rata 79,4 sehingga mencapai KKM yang ditetapkan. Selain itu, hasil observasi kelancaran membaca meningkat dari nilai rata-rata 56,9 pada siklus I menjadi 72,6 pada siklus II, yang dikategorikan sebagai membaca lancar. Dengan demikian, penerapan metode berpasangan berbantuan media kartu kata dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar dan kelancaran membaca siswa kelas II SD Negeri 6 Perembang Nyuruh. Kata kunci: Metode Berpasangan, Kartu Kata, Kelancaran Membaca. Abstract This study aims to determine the implementation of the paired method assisted by word cards to improve the reading fluency of second-grade students at SD Negeri 6 Perembang Nyuruh. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach. The research subjects were second-grade students at SD Negeri 6 Perembang Nyuruh, while the research focused on implementing the paired method assisted by word cards to improve students’ reading fluency. The research instruments included the Teacher Performance Assessment Instruments (APKG) 1 and 2, observation sheets, and student learning outcomes. Data were collected through APKG 1 and 2 assessments, observations, and student achievement tests. Data analysis was conducted by examining the APKG assessment results, observation data, and student learning outcomes. The success criteria were based on an average reading ability score of 6–7, categorized as fluent reading, and the achievement of the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) of 75. The results showed an improvement in student learning outcomes from Cycle I to Cycle II. In Cycle I, the learning mastery rate was 33.33%, with an average score of 60.2. In Cycle II, the mastery rate increased to 80%, with an average score of 79.4, meeting the established KKM. Furthermore, the average reading fluency observation score increased from 56.9 in Cycle I to 72.6 in Cycle II, which was categorized as fluent reading. Therefore, implementing the paired method assisted by word card media can improve learning outcomes and reading fluency among second-grade students at SD Negeri 6 Perembang Nyuruh.
