Peningkatan Keterampilan Berkomunikasi Melalui Cerita Interaktif Kelas Kelompok B1 di Taman Kanak-Kanak Cempaka Harum

Abstract

Communication skills are basic skills that need to be developed from an early age to support children's social, emotional, and intellectual development. The implementation of community service aims to improve the communication skills of early childhood through an interactive story program in group B1 of Cempaka Harum Kindergarten. The community service program uses a collaborative participatory approach that involves teachers and the community service team in every stage of its implementation. Activities are carried out in four main stages: planning, implementation, evaluation, and reflection, using supporting media such as teaching aids, picture story books, and simple animations to increase the appeal of the story. The results of the community service show a significant increase in children's listening skills, speaking courage, and active participation during the activity. Children become better able to understand stories, express opinions, and interact in discussions. The teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages active participation of children and provides emotional support to children who are shy or lack confidence.
