Wangi, Sekar Mahkota. 2026. “Improving Students’ Reading Comprehension Through Interactive Digital Storytelling Using Canva for Eighth Grade at MTs Islamiyah Kasiman”. Skripsi, English Education Department Faculty of Languages and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Lecturer 1) Oktha Ika Rahmawati, M.Pd., 2) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Interactive Digital Storytelling, Canva, Narrative Text, Classroom Action Research. Reading comprehension is an essential language skill, yet many eighth-grade students at MTs Islamiyah Kasiman experienced difficulties in understanding narrative texts due to limited vocabulary, low motivation, and the lack of engaging learning media. This study aimed to describe the implementation of Interactive Digital Storytelling using Canva and to examine its effectiveness in improving students' reading comprehension. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model. The participants were 38 eighth-grade students of MTs Islamiyah Kasiman. Data were collected through reading comprehension tests, observation sheets, field notes, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings showed that Interactive Digital Storytelling using Canva improved students' reading comprehension and increased their engagement during the learning process. The mean score improved from 64.84 in the pre-test to 79.13 in the post-test. In addition, the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) increased from 36.8% to 84.2%. Students also demonstrated better performance in identifying main ideas, detailed information, vocabulary in context, narrative structure, and moral values. It can be concluded that Interactive Digital Storytelling using Canva is an effective learning medium for improving the reading comprehension of eighth-grade students, particularly in understanding narrative texts.
