This study aimed to improve children's ability to recognize new vocabulary in Group B of TK Permata during the 2025/2026 academic year. The main issue motivating this research is the children's low mastery of new vocabulary, which impacts their communication skills. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis & Mc. Taggart model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 15 children in Group B at TK Permata. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and performance tests. The collected data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that the application of picture card media (flashcards) significantly improved the children's ability to recognize new vocabulary. In the pre-cycle stage, classical completeness only reached 13.33% (2 children achieved mastery). After implementing the flashcard media in cycle I, the completeness percentage increased to 66.67% (10 children achieved mastery). Since this result had not reached the success indicator of 80%, cycle II was carried out with several improvements. In cycle II, classical completeness increased significantly to 86.67% (13 children achieved mastery). As the results in cycle II met the target, the research was concluded. This study concludes that the use of flashcards makes children more active and enthusiastic, and helps them easily understand and remember the newly learned vocabularyReferences
