This study was conducted to improve Tamil reading skills using augmented reality (AR) among Year 4 students. Accordingly, an integrated Tamil language e-module with Augmented Reality (AuRa-BT), based on the Universal Design for Agile Development model and minimalist theory was designed and developed. Before and after the e-module implementation, a survey was conducted using questionnaires and checklists as research tools. Questionnaires, and checklists were used as tools to verify of content and usability of AURa-BT module. Respondents of the study are 50 students and 8 teachers. Descriptive methods were used to analyze the data obtained. The overall study results show that the use of AURa-BT Module combined with Augmented Reality Technology can improve the reading skills of Tamil words among Year 4 students. The use of AuRa-BT shows an improvement in Tamil reading skills among Year 4 students. In general, this study shows that the use of augmented reality (AR) technology can easily attract students and teachers to improve Tamil word reading skills.
