Early reading skills are a crucial aspect of language development in early childhood, as they lay the foundation for literacy in subsequent stages of education. This study was motivated by the low level of early reading proficiency among Group B children at Balai Mansiro Kindergarten in Guguak District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Preliminary observations revealed that 11 out of 13 children struggled with letter recognition, syllable assembly, and reading simple words. The study aimed to enhance the children's early reading skills through the use of a "word car" game. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which comprises the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted over two cycles: Cycle I consisted of three sessions, and Cycle II consisted of four sessions. The participants were 13 children from Group B, aged 5–6 years. Data collection involved observation, performance tests, and documentation, while data analysis utilized both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results demonstrated an improvement in the children's early reading skills following the implementation of the "word car" game. The average achievement in the "Developing Very Well" category rose from 13.45% at the baseline to 40.38% by the end of Cycle I and further increased to 80.76% by the end of Cycle II. This improvement indicates that the "word car" game effectively supports the development of letter recognition, word assembly, and simple word reading skills in Group B children. In conclusion, the "word car" game serves as an engaging alternative learning medium that aligns with the characteristics of early childhood learners in fostering early reading skills.
