<![CDATA[An This study to improve the early reading skills of grade II elementary school students through the application of the global method assisted by Big Book learning media. The background of this study is based on the low early reading skills of students, which are indicated by difficulties in distinguishing letters, remembering spelling, and understanding simple sentences. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 25 grade II students of SDN 1 Cigelam. The instruments used included a reading skills test based on EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment), as well as observation sheets for teacher and student activities. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' early reading skills after the application of the global method assisted by Big Book media, both in terms of letter recognition, reading words, reading meaningless words, reading aloud fluency, and reading comprehension. Thus, the use of the global method and Big Book media has proven effective in improving the early reading skills of lower grade elementary school students.]]>
