Expert validation results show content-oriented teaching materials to improve students’ intensive reading skills that are valid and highly viable to use. Students’ responses to the understanding of character values are increasing. Teaching materials based on character values to enhance intensive reading skills can improve the intensive reading skill of students’ fairy tales.

So it can be said that the experimental group of learning by using old teaching materials plus storytelling materials with character values insight to improve intensive reading skills more effectively improve student learning outcomes.

Project-based-learning on critical reading course to enhance critical thinking skills

“…It is a basic knowledge system to obtain information and deepen knowledge (Zhou, 2018) because someone needs to know and interpret the functions of texts accurately. Moreover, Anggraini et al (2018) reveal that reading is an activity to recognize and observe a text in order to obtain the information contained in it. It can be done with any reading materials as evidenced in Darmuki et al (2016) who state that reading, for example, reference books will help readers to improve language skills.…”

Further, Anggraini et al (2018) also convey the same thing in their research in which they developed learning materials by using folklore comprising character values to improve reading skills. The incorporation of folklore in learning materials was designed to broaden students' understanding of local culture and to provide opportunities for them to learn about the character values stated in folklore.…”
