This study was motivated by the limited availability of interactive learning media that can help students aged 6–7 years old recognize and read Hijaiyah letters in an interesting and enjoyable way. Therefore, this study aims to develop interactive learning media in the form of audio flashcards called “Domino Hijaiyah” as a supporting tool to improve Hijaiyah letter reading skills. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Design and Development (D&D) method, which adapts the Planning, Production, and Evaluation (PPE) model, consisting of the planning, production, and evaluation stages. In the evaluation stage, the research subjects were determined purposively and involved two experts as media feasibility assessors, namely one subject matter expert and one media expert. The instruments used included expert validation sheets based on a 1–5 Likert scale and documentation, while the data were analyzed quantitatively through validity score calculations. The validation results showed that the material aspect scored 100% in the excellent category, while the media aspect scored 97.2% in the excellent category after revisions were made based on experts feedback. These findings indicate that the “Domino Hijaiyah” audio flashcards are highly suitable for use as interactive learning media to support the ability to recognize and read Hijaiyah letters. This study also shows that the developed media has the potential to be an innovative alternative for teachers and is recommended for further testing through field trials to measure its effectiveness directly in the classroom.
