<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the development process of a picture storybook based on the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach for first-grade elementary school Indonesian language learning. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D development model, which consists of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The define stage involved analyzing learning needs, student characteristics, curriculum, learning materials, and instructional objectives. The design stage included preparing the story content, illustrations, media layout, and research instruments. The develop stage comprised expert validation, product revision, and limited field testing with first-grade students. Finally, the disseminate stage was conducted through limited distribution of the product to teachers and the school as an alternative learning medium. The findings indicate that the development process produced a picture storybook that is appropriate for first-grade students, visually engaging, and supportive of contextual Indonesian language learning. The developed product was considered feasible based on expert validation and limited field testing. Therefore, the CTLbased picture storybook can serve as an alternative instructional medium to help students understand learning materials through experiences closely related to their daily lives.]]>
