The ability to recognize alphabet letters is a crucial foundation for early childhood in preparing early literacy skills. However, it was found that most children in class A2 at TK Negeri Pembina Dewi Anjani still struggle to distinguish similar-looking letters such as b-d and p-q. This study aims to describe the teacher's role in stimulating the ability to recognize alphabet letters through the utilization of Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) media. This study is a qualitative descriptive field research. The subjects were 19 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this study are: (1) The teacher's role includes serving as a multisensory learning designer, a facilitator of play-based learning, a mediator of evaluation, and a balanced classroom manager. (2) The impacts include the development of cognitive abilities, increased child focus, and the enhancement of children's sensory-motor skills. (3) Supporting factors include the availability of multi-touch features, abundant learning content, and teachers' creativity. Inhibiting factors include technical constraints, classroom management challenges, insufficient teacher competence, and high repair costs. This research is expected to be a reference in the use of digital technology in early childhood ducation.References
