This study aimed to develop culture-based digital media to support narrative text reading skills among fourth-grade elementary school students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The study was conducted at SDN Grobogan 02, involving 20 fourth-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. The developed media contained several features, including an opening page, digital attendance, user instructions, learning materials, learning resources, graded exercises, educational games, and evaluation questions. The content integrated cultural elements through narrative texts, local stories, moral values, and cultural illustrations. The validation results showed that the media expert score reached 98%, categorized as highly feasible, while the material and language expert score reached 93%, also categorized as highly feasible. Furthermore, the teacher response obtained 86%, and the student response reached 91.4%, both indicating a very positive category. Therefore, the culture-based digital media is feasible and attractive for supporting narrative text reading instruction in elementary schools.
