<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the effect of flashcard media on beginning reading skills of first-grade students at SD Negeri 18 Banda Aceh. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 56 students, divided into an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 28 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments designed to measure students’ beginning reading skills. The data were analyzed using validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity tests, and Independent Sample t-test with SPSS version 27. The results showed that the use of flashcard media had a significant effect on students’ beginning reading skills. The experimental class achieved a higher mean posttest score than the control class. The significance value of the Independent Sample t-test was less than 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis Hₐ was accepted. Flashcard media helped students recognize letters, combine syllables, read simple words and sentences, and understand the meaning of texts more effectively.]]>
