The development phase includes the validation of teaching materials and RPP. Then the product is tested to see the practicality and effectiveness of the teaching materials that have been developed. Research results explained RPP validation for aspects of learning objectives with an average of 94 very valid and aspects of learning material with 100 very valid. The dissemination stage of the assessment process for reading skills is done using an assessment rubric. The average class value at meeting 1 is 93.34. The second meeting is 89.142. The third meeting is 85.92 with an overall average of 89.46 with a very good category.
