This research was motivated by the lack of media available to stimulate children's early reading skills in kindergarten. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of using flashcard teaching media to enhance reading abilities. The research subjects included three students in individual trials, nine students in small group trials, and 27 students for the effectiveness test. The research model used was the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Data collection methods included questionnaires and observation instruments (pre-non-test and post-non-test). The data analysis techniques applied were quantitative descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The research findings indicate that expert evaluations of design, feasibility tests, and assessments from research subjects rated the flashcard media in the "very good" category, confirming its high validity for use. Additionally, the t-test results (tcount > ttable: 7.140 > 2.055) demonstrate that flashcard media is significantly effective in stimulating early reading skills in young children in Group B. The implication of this research is that flashcard media can be integrated into the learning process as a strategy to improve early reading skills, particularly for early childhood learners in Group B.
