Effect of the Make A Match Model on the Initial Reading Ability of Elementary School Students

This study aims to determine the effect of the make a match model on the initial reading ability of students. The independent variable in this study is the make a match model and the dependent variable is the ability to read the beginning. This study used the Pretest One Group Posttest design.
