The research data were analyzed using parametric inferential statistical procedures, namely one-sample t-test and paired-sample t-test. The results of the study: 1) the pre-test results of the ability to use Enhanced Spelling only reached a mean of 23.46 or a standard score of 64.64; 2) the post-test results of the ability to use Enhanced Spelling in learning descriptive text skills using the flash card method reached a mean of 36.03 or a standard score of 90.07; 3) the flash card method is effective in learning the ability to use Enhanced Spelling in descriptive text.
