Keywords:
Flashcard, Speech Delay, Language AbilityAbstract
This study aims to be able to see the use of the flashcard method in improving language skills in early childhood who are indicated to have speech delay. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation data collection techniques. The study subjects were 2 people in the age range of 3 to 5 years who were indicated to have speech delay in the Tebing Tinggi Gembira play group. The learning activity using flashcard media was carried out for four weeks, with a duration of 30 minutes per session. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in language skills in the aspects of vocabulary, language comprehension, and the ability to compose simple sentences. Children who were originally passive began to be able to name objects, answer questions, and compose sentences of three to four words. In addition, the use of flashcards also increases children's interest in learning through an attractive visual approach.
