Pre-reading skills are fundamental abilities that need to be developed in early childhood as preparation for entering primary education. However, the pre-reading skills of children aged 5–6 years at Al Bayyinah Kindergarten, East Cikarang District, had not developed optimally. This was indicated by the fact that some children still experienced difficulties in recognizing letters and distinguishing letter sounds. This study aimed to improve the pre-reading skills of children aged 5–6 years through the use of digital storybooks. This study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which was conducted through several cycles consisting of the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were children aged 5–6 years at Al Bayyinah Kindergarten, East Cikarang District. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and assessment of children's developmental progress. The results of the study showed that the use of digital storybooks could improve children's pre-reading skills. The children became more capable of recognizing letter symbols, distinguishing letter sounds, and demonstrating progress in early reading abilities. The use of digital media also helped make the learning process more engaging and effective.References
