Reading ability is a teacher's concern in learning. This study aimed to determine the use of
word boards to improve reading skills and to describe ways to improve reading skills in grade 1
elementary school students. This research model uses Kemmis and Mc. Taggart with the stages of
planning, action, observation, and reflection. This research was carried out using a qualitative
descriptive method with 6 students in class 1 UPT SDN Gandekan 04 as the subject of research. Data
collection techniques included interviews, observations, and tests. Data analysis used the average class
value and percentage of completeness. If the percentage of students who complete reaches 75% of the
number of students, then the action is stopped, and the research is declared successful. The results of
this study showed an increase in the learning outcomes of grade 1 elementary school students, namely,
66.67% completed with an average grade of 70 in cycle I and 100% with an average grade of 96.67 in
cycle II. With an increase in student learning outcomes, students' reading skills also increased. One
way to improve the reading ability of Grade 1 elementary school students is to integrate the use of
wordboard media in each lesson.
