<![CDATA[The limitations of learning materials—which remain conventional and unengaging—are one of the obstacles to supporting early reading skills in children aged 4–5 years. This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of digital storybooks as a medium to support early reading skills in children aged 4–5 years. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study subjects included one content expert, one media expert, and 45 children aged 4–5 years from three early childhood education institutions, with 20 children participating in the main field test. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and validation questionnaires. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using feasibility percentage analysis. The results showed that the digital storybook medium received a feasibility percentage of 84% from the content expert and 86% from the media expert, both of which fall into the “highly feasible” category. The field trial demonstrated positive responses and engagement from the children during reading activities using the digital storybook medium. Thus, the digital storybook medium is suitable for use as a learning medium and can serve as an alternative to support early reading activities for children aged 4–5 years.]]>
