Abstract
Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill for elementary school students, yet second-grade students at SDN 1 Surabaya Lepak still showed low reading comprehension because instruction reliade on lectures and textbooks with limited visual media. This study investigated the effect of picture card media on students’ reading comprehension. A quantitative approach with pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was applied. The population and sample consisted of all 18 second-grade students, selected through saturated sampling. Data were obtained from tests, observations, and documentation, and were examined using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the paired-samples t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The average score rose from 44.61 on the pretest to 81.72 on the posttest. The paired-samples test produced a t statistic of 17.618 in magnitude, with 17 degrees of freedom and a two-tailed significance value of 0.000, which was below 0.05. The mean N-Gain was 0.6663, or 66.63%, placing the improvement in the moderate category. These results suggest that picture card media significantly enhanced the reading comprehension of the second-grade students. Nevertheless, because the study involved a small sample and did not include a control group, the findings should be interpreted cautiously and should not be generalized beyond the class under investigation.
