Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Flashcard terhadap Kemampuan Bercerita Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun Di RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru

This research was motivated by group B children at RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru, it was known that the children were not yet able to tell stories. This was proven by conducting an interview with one of the teaching staff who confirmed that the storytelling activities carried out still revolved around using storybooks. Telling stories for children during class activities is not interesting, because what happens during learning activities is that media is not used that can stimulate children to tell stories.
