This research addressed the need for engaging and effective learning media in Indonesian language education, focusing on improving reading comprehension skills among fifth-grade students. Recognizing the limitations of standard worksheets, the study developed and validated the Education Gift Box (DUGIBO), a learning tool designed to teach main idea identification within environmental insight texts. Employing a research and development approach using the 4D model, the study aimed to assess the validity of DUGIBO as a viable educational resource. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, involving an expert validator, a stakeholder teacher, and 21 students from class 5A at MI Ma'arif Kadipaten Ponorogo. The evaluation encompassed media, material, and language aspects, with data analyzed using percentage correction formulas. The findings revealed that the expert validation yielded a "very valid" rating, indicating the high quality and suitability of the DUGIBO media. Furthermore, student responses, gathered through questionnaires, demonstrated a "very good" reception, highlighting the media's effectiveness and appeal. Consequently, the study concluded that DUGIBO is a highly valid and feasible learning medium for enhancing reading skills in Indonesian language instruction, offering a valuable alternative to traditional learning materials and promoting environmental awareness.
