Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kuantitatif dengan total 30 siswa kelas VIII di SMPN 1 Lahat, Sumatera Selatan. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan tes membaca. Data dianalisis menggunakan Paired Sample t-test. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan yang terjadi dalam pemahaman membaca siswa dari pretes ke posttes, reference mengalami peningkatan tertinggi dan inference mengalami peningkatan terendah. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari jumlah nilai pretes rata-rata siswa yaitu 69.27 dan jumlah nilai posttes rata-rata siswa adalah 80.2. Hal itu dapat dilihat dari hasil perbandingan Tvalue dan Ttable, dimana Tvalue > Ttable (12.850 > 2.750). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan media video animasi efektif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman bacaan siswa (p=0.000<0.05).
