Abstract

This research is motivated by the low reading ability of grade 2 students, which is characterized by a lack of interest and motivation in learning to read, as well as the use of less interesting learning methods. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application of Big Book media can improve the reading ability of grade 2 students at SD Muhammadiyah 19 Medan. The method used in this study is
Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 31 grade 2 students. Data were collected through observation sheets of teacher and student activities, as well as a test of initial reading ability. The results of the study showed that the application of Big Book media can improve students' initial reading ability. In cycle I, only 32.2% of students achieved the completion criteria, while in cycle II, the percentage of students who completed increased to 93.5%. This shows that the use of Big Book media is effective in improving students' reading ability.
