<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low level of students’ beginning reading skills. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of animated video-based word card media on the beginning reading skills of Grade I students at SD Negeri 12 Toboali. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method, using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of one class of 25 students selected through a saturated sampling technique. Students were given an oral test consisting of five questions as the data collection technique. Data were analyzed using the normality test (Shapiro-Wilk) and hypothesis testing (Paired Sample t-test). The results of the normality test showed that the pretest data had a significance value of 0.105, which is greater than 0.05, and the posttest data had a value of 0.133, which is also greater than 0.05, indicating that the data were normally distributed. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (0.000 < 0.05), with posttest scores significantly higher than pretest scores. Therefore, Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means that using animated video-based word card media significantly affects the beginning reading skills of Grade I students at SD Negeri 12 Toboali.]]>
