Abstract

Education in Indonesia shapes children’s character, personality, and abilities, but faces challenges like unequal access to resources, quality differences between regions, and low reading interest among children. This study aims to develop AI-based children’s story-books through Fry readability for elementary students. This study used the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Results showed that AI-based storybooks can Improve children’s reading interest and help teachers provide support based on students’ competence. The score of Expert validation was 37 out of 40 (92.5%), and media expert validation was 52 out of 55 (94.5%). These high scores reflect the books’ alignment with children’s cognitive development, simple language, and appealing illustrations. Fry readability ensures the reading level is suitable for fourth to sixth-grade students to improve the quality of elementary education in Indonesia, reduce regional quality gaps, and improve students’ academic performance. The AI-based storybooks significantly boost children’s interest in reading, address low reading engagement, assist teachers in offering more effective educational support, and help bridge educational quality gaps between different regions. The alignment with children’s cognitive development ensures engaging and developmentally appropriate content, demonstrating an innovative approach in educational tools and paving the way for further technological integration in education.
