Literacy is still the main problem in primary schools mainly among Orang Asli students. The level of literacy among Orang Asli students are very low. In the present time, there are many reading modules to help teachers in teaching and learning in preschool and primary school levels. However, modules or reading materials for Orang Asli students are scarce and this makes it difficult for teachers in Orang Asli schools to diversify their teaching and learning methods in a class. Therefore, this research aims to create a module that has a validation and high credibility to help increase a student's grasp in reading. ADDIE model was used as a base to create a model. This research involved five phases which is carrying out an analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation phase. A survey was conducted to assess the content validity of the module. The data was validated by three experts. The results showed that the LIKES Module for Orang Asli had a high content validity (>74 percent). It meant that this module was validated and ready for use in Orang Asli primary schools to increase their literacy.
