<![CDATA[The low Indonesian language learning outcomes of lower-grade elementary school students require teachers to implement innovative learning media that support beginning reading skills. This study aimed to improve the implementation of learning, Indonesian language learning outcomes, student learning activities, and students' responses through the use of picture word card media for Grade II students at SDN Karya Tani. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of two cycles with four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 25 Grade II students. Data were collected through observation, learning achievement tests, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results showed that the implementation of learning increased from 39.34% in the first meeting of Cycle I to 83.60% in the second meeting of Cycle II. Students' learning mastery improved from 56% to 84%, while student learning activities increased from 52% to 88%. Furthermore, students gave positive responses toward the use of picture word card media with a response percentage of 76.2%, categorized as strongly agree. These findings indicate that picture word card media effectively improves the quality of Indonesian language learning by enhancing learning implementation, student activities, learning outcomes, and positive student responses. Therefore, picture word card media can be recommended as an alternative instructional medium for Indonesian language learning in lower elementary schools.]]>
