For example, children's language skills have not developed, especially in storytelling activities, they lack mastery of understanding, are not yet able to construct simple sentences, and are not yet able to understand the contents of the story being conveyed. In addition, learning still uses media that are less interesting to stimulate children's language skills. This study utilizes a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method.
