Abstract

Reading skills are very important because they are the main basis for obtaining valid knowledge and information. By having good reading skills, you can understand the contents of the text in depth. Therefore, this study aims to improve the reading skills needed by elementary school students by using the development of interactive media iSpring Free. The background to this research is the low interest in reading and reading skills of students in learning Arabic, coupled with the use of traditional methods which are still dominant. The approach used is research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The resulting product is an Android-based interactive learning media, developed using iSpring Free and equipped with attractive visual displays, audio, and various reading exercises. The results of the feasibility test by material experts obtained a score of 90%, while from media experts it was 92%. This media was then tested on 20 fifth grade students of Nurul Arifin Elementary School. Based on the questionnaire distributed, the level of student satisfaction with this media reached 90.82%. Most students felt that learning was more enjoyable, easy to understand, and not boring. The study's results showed that interactive learning media can significantly enhance students' reading skills. iSpring Free has proven to be effective in presenting materials more interestingly than conventional methods. Therefore, this media can be used as an alternative in learning Arabic at the elementary school level, especially in improving reading skills. However, optimal use of this media requires support from adequate technological infrastructure and teacher readiness in operating digital devices. Teacher training and strengthening of supporting facilities are the main keys so that this learning media can be used sustainably and effectively.
