This study aimed to develop a basal readers method with Big Book media for educators and first grade students which was valid, practical, and effective. The development process was carried out based on Borg & Gill model which emphasized the context of needs (educators and students) so that a textbook for early reading skills could be produced through Big Book media based Basal Readers method. The results of the validity test, which was obtained from the validation of content, language, presentation, graphics, found that the total percentage was 93.10% with Very Valid category. Then, the results of the questionnaire revealed that the percentage of the teacher's response was 90.25% and for the students’ responses was 87.22% while the effectiveness of early reading based on the t-test showed that the value of t count > t table = 5.458 > 2.414. It was concluded that the textbook with big book media based basal readers method was feasible to be used in early reading at the lower grades of elementary school.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
