Abstract

Vocabulary is one of the important elements in language. At the age of 4 years children master around 1500 words, and to 2500 words at the age of 5 years. Vocabulary problems that children often face are a lack of mastery of diverse vocabulary; thus making it difficult for children to communicate with their peers and teachers at school. One of the causes is the lack of media that supports the learning process. The aim of this research is to develop a product to develop vocabulary skills in early childhood. This research is R&D (Research and Development) research with the ADDIE model consisting of five development stages, namely (1) Analysis, (2) Design, (3) Development, (4) Implementation, and (5) Evaluation.

The research results concluded that E-Books are very suitable to be used to develop vocabulary skills in early childhood.
