Based on the results of initial observations that have been carried out at SDN Pesanggrahan 01 Jakarta on August 29, 2023, it is stated that the reading ability of grade 1 students is still low, this is evidenced by the reading test conducted by the class 1A teacher at that time, namely there were 9 out of 23 students and class 1B there were 13 out of 23 students having difficulty in reading. Students find it difficult to understand the concept of letters and words, students also find it difficult to pronounce words and understand the content of reading. In its implementation, this study uses a type of experimental quantitative research through the provision of a special treatment / treatment in the experimental class. The type of True Experiment research was carried out with a Posttest only Group Design design. The sample in this study was taken using Probability sampling technique The results of the Normality Test using Kolmogorof-Smirnov showed that both data were normal. The results of the homogeneity test with a significance level of 0.05 or 5% after processing the data are significant. 0.471 <0.05 then the data is homogeneous. The results of the t-test in this study show that using an independent sample test with in the table it is known that the tcount value is 4.508, seen ttabel in the attached distribution is known ttabel = t0.5/2 (23+23-2) = t0.025 (44) = 1.1. then it is stated that tcount 4.508 > ttable 1.1 with a significance value of. 0.00 > 0.05. then ho is rejected ha is accepted so it can be concluded that there is an effect of picture word card media

Early childhood, commonly referred to as AUD (Anak Usia Dini), is the period from birth to six years old, which is crucial for the development of character and personality. At this stage, support from both parents and teachers is essential to help optimize children's potential according to their characteristics. One important aspect of early childhood development is language skills, which include listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Reading is a fundamental ability, as it serves as the foundation for developing other skills. In kindergarten-aged children, reading ability is known as emergent or beginning reading.This research aims to improve the beginning reading skills of children at PAUD Imanuel Maubele through the use of picture word card media. The research employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages, implemented in two cycles. The study involved 24 children aged 5-6 years, consisting of 14 girls and 10 boys. Data were collected using observation sheets.The pre-action observations showed that the children's beginning reading skills were still low, with an average achievement of only 42.59%. After implementing the first cycle, the average increased to 68.34%, with two children reaching the class success indicators. In the second cycle, the results showed a significant improvement, with an average achievement of 95.57%. These findings indicate that using picture word card media can effectively enhance the beginning reading abilities of early childhood students at PAUD Imanuel Maubele.
