<![CDATA[Teaching English in elementary schools often encounters challenges related to students’ low interest and limited reading skills. This study aims to develop an interactive learning media called Funread using Canva and to evaluate its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving the reading skills of fifth-grade students at Kamongan State Elementary School. The research employed a development method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects were fifth-grade students, with data collected through tests, questionnaires, and interviews. The results indicate that the learning media was rated as feasible by media experts (90%) and material experts (94%), both categorized as “Very Good”, and was considered practical based on responses from students and teachers (100%). The learning media was also proven to be effective, demonstrated by a significant value of 0.039 (<0.05), an increase in the average reading score of the experimental class by 14.94 points (compared to 12.94 points in the control class), and a Cohen’s d effect size of 0.72, categorized as large. In conclusion, the Canva-based interactive media is highly effective in enhancing English reading skills and offers practical implications as an innovative alternative for improving students’ motivation, participation, and overall learning quality in the classroom.]]>
