Abstract

Covid 19 is a virus that attacks the respiratory tract and causes people to limit activities such as school. In PAUD, it certainly has an impact on children^s literacy abilities, this is because children are less able to understand learning through distance learning. Based on field observations that occurred in Kindergarten in Bukittinggi, there is a low literacy ability of children, it can be seen that children have not been able to recognize numbers 1-10, children have not been able to recognize vowels. The research design was carried out 1 year in a row in Kindergarten group A aged 4-5 years. This research is in the form of research and development using the ADDIE model with the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Based on research data from the use of thematic-based song animation media- The results show that children^s mathematical logic intelligence is developing. Literacy development can be developed through animation media in children^s songs which are designed according to the theme of AUD learning. The use of animation media in songs can attract children^s interest to use their imagination so that they are able to express ideas. Thematic-based animation media is a fun activity for small children.
