This study was conducted following initial observations in Grade 1 at SD Negeri 12 Rambang Niru, which indicated that classroom conditions during teaching and learning activities were not yet conducive. For example, some students were noisy and disturbed their classmates’ concentration. Some students’ reading skills were also not yet optimal, and students were unfamiliar with or did not understand movable alphabet media. Therefore, learning media suited to the actual classroom conditions needed to be implemented. This study aimed to determine students’ beginning reading skills before and after the use of movable alphabet media. This study employed an experimental method using a pre-experimental design. The sample consisted of 24 Grade 1 students at SD 12 Rambang Niru. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the t-test formula. The results showed that students’ reading skills before the use of movable alphabet media had a mean score of 66, whereas their reading skills after using the media had a mean score of 82. These results indicate a significant effect of movable alphabet media on students’ beginning reading skills.
