Historical literacy is the ability to understand, analyze, and connect past events with the present context. Based on PISA 2018 data, Indonesian students' reading literacy scores are still below the international average, reflecting the low ability to understand texts, including historical texts. The results of initial observations at SDN 1 Mlinjon, SDN 2 Mlinjon, and SDN 2 Suruh showed that the historical literacy of grade VI students was still relatively low. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of narrative poster learning media on historical literacy in the science subject of grade VI Elementary School students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent control group design type. The subjects of the study consisted of 31 students from the experimental class (SDN 1 and SDN 2 Mlinjon) and 23 students from the control class (SDN 2 Suruh), who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through tests and interviews, while data analysis used independent sample t-test with the help of SPSS 25. The results of the analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), which means that there is a significant influence of the use of narrative poster media on improving students' historical literacy. Thus, narrative poster media can be an alternative effective learning media in improving the historical literacy of elementary school students. This study can also be a reference for the development of other narrative-based learning media.
