<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low reading comprehension skills of elementary school students, particularly in understanding themselves through identifying games they like and dislike. The study aimed to describe the implementation of the interactive worksheet “Getting to Know Youerself” based on the Think Pair Share (TPS) model and to analyze its effectiveness in improving reading comprehension and communication skills among third-grade students at SDN Mangkang Wetan 02. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design and a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 28 students. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the TPS stages, namely thinking, pairing, and sharing, were implemented systematically, enabling students to identify, discuss, and express the games they liked and disliked as a form of self-understanding. Quantitatively, the mean score increased from 63.65 in the pretest to 84.7 in the posttest, with an N-Gain score of 0.58 (moderate category) and a t-value of 8.947 with p < 0.05. The learning process also improved students’ participation, self-confidence, and communication skills. Therefore, the TPS model assisted by the interactive worksheet “Getting to Know Youerself” was effective in improving students’ reading comprehension and self-understanding.]]>
