Abstract

Kemampuan membaca permulaan merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam perkembangan bahasa anak usia dini, namun sebagian anak masih mengalami kesulitan mengenali huruf, menghubungkan simbol dengan gambar, dan membaca kata sederhana. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan kartu huruf bergambar terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan anak usia 4–5 tahun di TK Baiturrohim Songak. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain kuasi-eksperimen Nonequivalent Control Group. Partisipan berjumlah 30 anak yang terbagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol, masing-masing 15 anak. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji normalitas, homogenitas, dan independent-samples t-test. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata kelompok eksperimen dari 52,1 menjadi 82,4, sedangkan kelompok kontrol dari 51,8 menjadi 64,3. Pengujian menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara kedua kelompok (t(28) = 9,876; p < 0,001). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kartu huruf bergambar dapat menjadi alternatif media pembelajaran yang mendukung pengembangan kemampuan membaca permulaan anak usia dini.

Early reading ability is an important aspect of language development in young children; however, some children still experience difficulties in recognizing letters, connecting symbols with pictures, and reading simple words. This study aimed to examine the effect of picture letter cards on the early reading abilities of children aged 4–5 years at TK Baiturrohim Songak. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group design was employed. The participants were 30 children divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 15 children in each group. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent-samples t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 52.1 to 82.4, while the control group’s mean score increased from 51.8 to 64.3. The statistical test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (t(28) = 9.876; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that picture letter cards can serve as an alternative instructional medium to support the development of early reading abilities among young children.
