Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyse how RA BKM Nurul Iman's letter card program has helped students in grades 3-5 develop their reading abilities. The premise of this study is that kids nowadays still have a hard time with basic reading skills like word recognition, letter shape discrimination, and symbol recognition. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consisted of two cycles and involved twenty students. In order to quantify the attainment of developmental indicators, data was collected by observation, performance assessment, and documentation. The data was then analysed using descriptive quantitative methodologies with percentage calculations. The findings show that early reading skills increase with time. No student achieved the anticipated level of growth during the pre-cycle period. Initial progress in letter symbol and sound recognition followed the introduction of letter card media in Cycle I. In Cycle II, there was a more noticeable improvement; all pupils reached the desired developmental level, showing improved skills in letter identification, symbol-sound association, and reading short sentences. To sum up, letter cards are a great tool for helping young children develop their reading abilities. Promoting early literacy development and enhancing children's active engagement in the learning process, this media offers tangible, captivating, and participatory learning opportunities.

Abstract

Politeness is an important aspect of moral development in early childhood. Initial observations at RA Azrina showed that most children aged 5–6 years were not yet accustomed to using polite expressions such as “please,” “thank you,” “sorry,” and “excuse me,” and did not consistently demonstrate behavior in accordance with politeness norms in their daily interactions. This study aimed to improve children's politeness through storytelling. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles with 20 Group B children at RA Azrina, Medan Marelan District. Data were collected using checklist observation sheets and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that classical mastery increased from 0% in the pre-cycle stage to 25% in Cycle I and 90% in Cycle II. At the end of the study, 12 children (60%) achieved the Very Well Developed (VWD) category, 6 children (30%) reached the Developed as Expected (DE) category, and 2 children (10%) remained in the Beginning to Develop (BD) category. Thus, storytelling was effective in improving children's politeness through the delivery of moral messages in an engaging, contextual manner appropriate to the developmental characteristics of early childhood.
