This research aimed to investigate the effect of the Starfall website on students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts. The study was motivated by the low reading performance of ninth-grade students at elementary school, especially in understanding complex and lengthy passages. Starfall, as a digital learning platform, was implemented to provide interactive and engaging reading input for the students. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test procedures involving an experimental group that used Starfall and a control group that received conventional instruction. The sample was selected through cluster random sampling, and the instrument used was a multiple-choice test based on Brown’s theory, including items on main idea, inference, detail, and vocabulary. The research results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Starfall website had a positive influence on students’ reading comprehension in narrative texts and may serve as an effective alternative learning resource.
