Abstract: Early childhood reading interest is an important factor in the formation of sustainable reading habits. One of the effective methods to foster interest in reading in children is through the use of picture story books. This study aims to determine the application of the picture story book method in building early childhood reading interest in group B in RA As-Salam, Salawu, Tasikmalaya, West Java. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The subjects of the study were 12 children in group B aged 5-6 years. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the picture book method is able to increase children's interest in reading. Children look more enthusiastic and interested when listening to stories accompanied by interesting illustrations. In addition, they were more active in asking questions and discussing the content of the story, which showed an increase in understanding and interest in the reading material. Teachers also play an important role in applying this method by reading stories expressively, providing opportunities for children to interact with books, and inviting them to tell stories again. Thus, the application of the picture story book method has proven to be effective in building early childhood reading interest. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for educators and parents in choosing the right strategy to foster a reading culture from an early age.Downloads
