Keywords:

This study aims to examine the application of storytelling methods with image media in improving early childhood speaking skills in group A at RA Dewi Sartika 1 Kuningan. The method used was classroom action research (PTK) with two cycles, involving 13 children as a sample. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, which are then analyzed in a qualitative and quantitative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that the method of storytelling with image media can improve early childhood speaking skills. In the first cycle, children begin to show courage in expressing opinions, although they are still limited in vocabulary and sentence structure. In the second cycle, there was a significant increase, where children spoke more fluently, were able to structure sentences better, and showed more varied expressions and intonation. The conclusion of this study is that the storytelling method with picture media is effective in improving the early childhood speaking skills of group A at RA Dewi Sartika 1 Kuningan. Therefore, this method can be used as an alternative in language learning for early childhood.Downloads
