This study aims to improve the speaking skills of children aged 5-6 years at RA Nawira Aulia through group counseling using storytelling with a series of picture media. This research employs a Counseling Guidance Action Research (PTBK) design consisting of two cycles, each with two sessions, involving 8 children. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The results show a significant improvement in children's speaking abilities. In the pre-cycle, 87% of children were categorized as sufficient, and in the second cycle, 87% of children reached the very good category. This study suggests the use of picture series media to support children's speaking development in learning activities.
