<![CDATA[Reading comprehension is an important skill in the learning process, especially at the elementary school level. However, the results of preliminary observations at SDN 076/II Tenam Candi, Bungo Regency show that grade V students have difficulty in understanding the content of reading, especially in finding implied information, organizing information, drawing conclusions, as well as evaluating and appreciating texts. This study aims to improve students’ reading comprehension skills through the application of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model assisted by the Book Creator application. This research is a Classroom Action Research with qualitative and quantitative approaches conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included tests and non-tests with research subjects involving the teacher as an observer and 17 fifth-grade students. The research results showed an improvement in reading comprehension skills from cycle I to cycle II. The teaching module assessment score increased from 89.58% (B) in cycle I to 100% (SB) in cycle II. Teacher activity observations improved from 91.08% (SB) to 96.43% (SB), while student activity increased from 83.93% (B) in cycle I to 92.87% (SB) in cycle II. Students’ reading comprehension skills increased from 68.42 (D) in cycle I to 85.63 (B) in cycle II. Thus, it can be concluded that the CIRC model assisted by the Book Creator application is effective in improving reading comprehension skills of fifth-grade students at SDN 076/II Tenam Candi, Bungo Regency.]]>
