This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in fictional text learning for Grade VI students at UPT SD Negeri 060857 Medan through the use of interactive PowerPoint media and concrete teaching aids. Preliminary observations revealed low student interest and suboptimal learning outcomes due to conventional teaching methods and limited use of learning media. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a quantitative approach, conducted in two learning cycles. The interactive PowerPoint utilized features such as hyperlinks, short videos, and quizzes, while concrete aids in the form of illustrated characters helped visualize abstract concepts in fictional texts. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ mastery levels, increasing from 45.83% in cycle I to 95.84% in cycle II. These results indicate that the use of varied and engaging teaching methods and media can enhance student comprehension, interest, and achievement. This study also aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, emphasizing differentiated learning and character development through creative and collaborative approaches.
