Abstract

Language skills are one of the developmental aspects that need to be stimulated from an early age because they play an important role in children's ability to communicate, express ideas, and interact with their environment. Observations in Group B of PAUD Pelangi showed that most children still experienced difficulties in answering questions, expressing opinions, and retelling stories in a coherent manner. This study aimed to improve children's language skills through the implementation of the storytelling method using animal-themed stories. This study was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 21 Group B children. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the percentage of children who reached the Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) categories increased from 47.6% in Cycle I to 85.7% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that animal-themed storytelling supported by big books and hand puppets is effective in improving children's language skills and can be used as an engaging learning alternative appropriate to the characteristics of early childhood.
