Abstract

This study aims to describe efforts to improve early childhood word comprehension through the implementation of the singing method at PAUD Alam J.A. Warraihan in Bima City. Children aged 5–6 years are in a crucial stage of language development. However, field conditions indicate that children’s ability to understand words has not yet developed optimally, particularly in responding to instructions, recognizing the meaning of adjectives, and using vocabulary in simple sentences. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of 12 children from Group B. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the singing method was implemented through three main stages. The first stage was preparation, which included selecting songs and learning media. The second stage was implementation, namely introducing vocabulary through songs, movements, and games. The third stage was evaluation, conducted both formatively and summatively. The successful implementation of this method was supported by children’s enthusiasm, teachers’ creativity in adapting songs, the use of the natural environment, and various learning media. Meanwhile, the obstacles identified included differences in children’s learning pace and limited instructional time. Thus, the singing method can serve as an effective strategy for optimizing word comprehension in early childhood, particularly when implemented in a planned and enjoyable manner and supported by a concrete learning environment.

Abstract

The development of language skills in early childhood is very important to prepare them for the challenges of further education. One effective method to develop children's language skills is the Read Aloud Method. This research was conducted at PAUD OI Balu to analyze the extent to which the application of the Read Aloud Method can affect the development of children's language skills aged 4-5 years. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were conducted through direct observation, interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities in the classroom. Data sources in this study consisted of teachers who teach at PAUD OI Balu and 20 students aged 4-5 years who were involved in Read Aloud sessions. The research procedure involved observation of story reading activities, question and answer, group discussion, use of picture books and dramatization techniques applied by the teacher. The data analysis technique used was thematic analysis, in which the researcher identified patterns of children's language development based on the results of observations and interviews. The results showed that the Read Aloud Method had a positive effect on the development of children's language skills. A total of 60% of students showed good development in vocabulary, speaking ability, and story comprehension. Meanwhile, 25% of students were in the moderate development category, and 15% of students needed more intensive assistance to improve their language skills.
