Sexual and reproductive health education in early childhood is still not delivered comprehensively. A pre-experimental study aimed to test the effectiveness of an activity and sound book, “Finally, I Know!” in early childhood knowledge before and after two months of intervention. The study involved 63 purposively sample students aged four to six years from UM Laboratory Kindergarten. The book material contains eight key points adapted from UNESCO International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education. Generalized linear model was used to analyze pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2. There was a significant increase in student’s knowledge in pre-test and post-test 1 intervention (0.020; P <.05), however, no knowledge increase from pre-test and post-test 2 intervention (0.740; P >.05). The “Finally I Know!”may have the potential as comprehensive sexuality education media. It is suggested the book should be used regularly over a period of less than two months to ensure that children’s knowledge continues to improve. © 2025 APJPH.
