Pop-Up Book Learning Media in Optimizing Speaking Skills in Elementary School: A Systematic Literature Review

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of pop-up book media in supporting literacy development, particularly in enhancing speaking skills among elementary school students. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, 15 accredited journal articles published between 2019 and 2024 were identified and analyzed. The selected studies highlight recurring challenges in literacy implementation, such as limited infrastructure, low student motivation, lack of teacher innovation, and minimal parental involvement. Findings indicate that pop-up book media significantly contribute to improving students' vocabulary, sentence structure, public speaking confidence, and storytelling abilities. Additionally, this medium supports character building, including cooperation and self-confidence, and can be adapted across various age groups and grade levels. The integration of local wisdom and cultural content also enhances students’ engagement and comprehension. Compared to other media, pop-up books offer a unique advantage through their three-dimensional and interactive features, increasing students' motivation and interest in learning. Overall, pop-up books are an effective, engaging, and flexible tool for promoting literacy and character education in elementary schools.
