Abstract
The language skills of group B children in Al-Washliyah Kindergarten, especially the ability to
recognize letters, have not developed optimally compared to other abilities, such as physical, motor,
cognitive, and social-emotional abilities. Therefore, the alphabet letter card puppet game is used.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the alphabet letter card puppet game in improving
the ability to recognize letters in children aged 5-6 years in Al-Washliyah Kindergarten. This study
uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design. The sample of this study was the
children of group B with a total of 14 people. Data collection was carried out through tests which were assessed through observation sheets. The instrument used in this data collection is the
observation sheet. Data were analyzed using statistical tests (t-test). The results showed that before
the letter card puppet game, 14.29% of children had not yet developed the ability to recognize
letters of the alphabet, 42.85% of children began to develop, and as many as 42.85% of children
developed according to expectations. After the application of the letter card puppet game, 57.15%
developed very well the ability to recognize letters of the alphabet, 35.71% of children developed as
expected, 7.14% of children began to develop and there were no children who had not developed.
This result is reinforced by the results of hypothesis testing, namely the t-count value of 17.92
while the t-table value is 1.77 so that the t-count> t-table price (17.92> 1.77) is at a significant
level of 5%. It can be concluded that the letter card puppet game is effective in improving the
ability to recognize letters of the alphabet in children aged 5-6 years at Al-Washliyah Kindergarten
Banda Aceh.
