The developing A-SSI media must be tested for feasibility based on three aspects, they were validity, effectiveness, and practicality. This study used a pretest-posttest design and tested on grade VII junior high school students. A-SSI media that would be used in learning process is validated by experts through a validation sheet. The results obtained based on the validators' assessment are 88.5% with the criteria "very good". In addition, effectiveness of A-SSI media is tested through literacy tests and student responses. The results obtained in the literacy test, literacy skills of students were increased with an average n-gain of 0.66 with "moderate" category, there was a response given by students in the learning process with A-SSI media, 88.9% students gave a positive response of the using of A-SSI media. Then in the last aspect, that was practicality of media was reviewed through student activities and implementation of learning. The results obtained in the implementation of learning, 89.8% of activities designed in RPP were carried out well, while the activities of students based on the results of observation were very good and showed activities that supported scientific literacy skills. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
