This study used a quantitative pre-experiment method with a two-group pretest-posttest. The research subjects consisted of two groups of first-grade students: an experimental group (N = 27) and a control group (N = 27). In this study, the subjects were first given a pre-test to determine their initial abilities before being taught using storybooks. Following the pretest, the students were given treatment, namely storybooks. After completion, the students were given a posttest to determine the extent of the storybook’s influence on their reading ability. The Effect of Children's Storybook Media: The use of children's storybooks significantly improves the early reading skills of first-grade students in MIS Al-Ikhlasiyah. This is evident from the increase in the average score of students in the experimental class (pretest 70.44 to posttest: 80.3) and the percentage of completion (48.15% to 85%). Differences between the Experimental and Control Classes: The control class also experienced improvement but was not as significant as the experimental class. The completion rate of the control class was only 33%, compared to 85% in the experimental class. Effectiveness of Children's Storybook Media: Children's storybook media have been proven to be effective in increasing students' interest and early reading skills compared to conventional methods.
