<![CDATA[This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Flood Disaster Mitigation-based Student Worksheet (LKPD) in improving reading comprehension skills and disaster preparedness of fourth-grade elementary school students. A quantitative approach using One Group Pretest-Posttest design was employed with seven students as subjects. Data collection instruments included a validated reading comprehension test. Data analysis used Normalized Gain (N-Gain) and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test due to non-normal data distribution confirmed by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Results showed the average score increased from 75.71 (pretest) to 97.86 (posttest), with an average N-Gain of 0.93 in the high category. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.018 (p < 0.05), confirming a significant difference in reading comprehension before and after LKPD implementation. The LKPD, integrating local flood-based narrative texts, illustrated ice cream stick media, and manipulative activities, proved effective in encouraging active student engagement while building flood disaster preparedness. This study contributes to developing thematic teaching materials responsive to local disaster contexts and aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum approach.]]>
