The aspect that will be carried out in this research is students' reading ability in English lessons. This research was conducted at SDN Medaeng 1 class because I saw students who were less active during the learning process, besides that students could not read English vocabulary correctly, therefore this research aims to improve students' English reading skills using the storytelling method at SDN. Medaeng 1 Sidoarjo. This research uses the classroom action method (PTK), which is carried out in 2 research cycles. The data collection method is carried out by observation, making a comparison between the test results of cycle 1 and cycle 2, after that we reflect on determining the research results to determine student improvement. using the storytelling method. The research results showed that there was an increase in students' reading skills using storytelling.
