Abstract

This study aims to improve the basic reading skills of educational media game applications with students based on local culture at the Al-Azhar 34 Islamic Kindergarten Makassar. Reading skills are very important for children in preparation to move on to the next level. This research must be done because the level of reading in Indonesia is still low. This was proven in 2017, the Indonesian people, especially children, regarding their reading interest, were still in the very low category. This is based on data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) which states that the percentage of children’s reading interest in Indonesia still reaches around 0.01 percent. Digital games, as with games in many other forms, provide a setting, rules and constraints within which players can interact, either with each other or an aspect of the game environment in order to achieve some form of goal [1].
