This study was motivated by the low narrative writing skills of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 29 Dadok Tunggul Hitam, Padang. The students experienced difficulties in generating story ideas, organizing narrative structures coherently, selecting appropriate vocabulary, and applying correct spelling and punctuation according to Indonesian language conventions. This study aimed to describe the improvement of students' narrative writing skills through the implementation of the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model, covering the aspects of lesson planning, learning implementation, and learning outcomes. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages.
