<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the use of picture card media in developing early writing skills among young children at TK Aisyiyah 1 Kota Bima. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of 12 group B children aged 5–6 years and two classroom teachers. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which involves data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The findings indicate that picture cards were implemented through several stages, including media preparation, introduction of pictures and words, card-based play activities, guided writing practice, and reinforcement for children. Prior to the use of picture cards, children’s early writing skills were still in a low category. This was reflected in their limited ability to hold writing tools, trace shapes or letters, thicken dotted letters, imitate letters, write their own names, write short words, and express simple ideas in written form. After the implementation of picture card media, children’s early writing skills improved across all observed indicators. The children became more interested, active, confident, and able to connect pictures, letters, words, and written symbols in a more concrete way. Therefore, picture cards can be used as an effective alternative learning medium that is enjoyable, interactive, and appropriate to the developmental stage of early childhood.]]>
