The use of media can provide a strong stimulus to students to make it easier to understand the content of the story they are reading.

This study uses a quantitative approach, with the experimental method of one group pre test and post test design. Based on the results of the pre-test, the average value of student learning outcomes is 44.23, then the average value of the post-test results is 80.76, so the ability of students to listen to fairy tales after the application of audio-visual animation media has better learning outcomes compared to before the application of audio-visual animation media.
