This research aims to see children's ability to recognize letters, namely 1) Mentioning vowel sounds a, i, u 2) Mentioning letter sounds that are similar to b, d.p 3) Connecting letters into syllables 4) Connecting syllables into meaningful words 5) Adding vowel letters in meaningful words 6) Add up the consonant letters in meaningful words.This research uses a classroom action approach. The research subjects were 10 PAUD children in Nusa Indah, Sawahlunto City. The research instrument used was an observation and documentation format, and after going through the planning, implementation, observation and reflection stages, the data obtained was analyzed using percentages.Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that, there is an increase in the ability to recognize letters through bottle cap media.
