<![CDATA[The reading comprehension ability of elementary school students is still relatively low, including in fourth grade students in one of the public elementary schools in Bandung Regency, West Java, most of whom have not yet achieved the criteria for achieving learning objectives. This study aims to describe the learning process and determine the improvement in fourth grade elementary school students’ reading comprehension ability through the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) cooperative learning model assisted by interactive E-Book media. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach in the form of a non-equivalent control group design, involving 60 students divided into an experimental class (CIRC model assisted by interactive E-Book) and a control class (conventional learning). The learning process in the experimental class follows the syntax of the CIRC model assisted by interactive E-Book, while the control class uses conventional learning with the lecture method; both show an increase in teacher and student activity at each meeting, with a higher increase in the experimental class. Data were collected through tests (pretest-posttest) and analyzed using the N-Gain calculation. The results of the study showed that the average posttest score of the experimental class (82.50) was higher than that of the control class (74.67). The N-Gain results showed that the increase in reading comprehension ability of the experimental class (0.53 or 53.47%, medium category) was higher than that of the control class (0.41 or 40.79%, medium category). These findings indicate that the CIRC model assisted by interactive E-Book media provides a better increase in reading comprehension ability compared to conventional learning in fourth grade elementary school students.]]>
