This community service program (PKM) aims to improve English vocabulary mastery among sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 200104 Padangsidimpuan. The program implemented "Picture Walk" and "Read Aloud" strategies, structured within a systematic instructional design. To optimize the learning environment, audio technology via speakers was utilized for educational songs during ice-breaking sessions. The study involved 30 students, focusing on vocabulary related to fruits, human anatomy, and days of the week. Results indicated that the integration of audio technology and visual-based reading strategies significantly improved student engagement and vocabulary retention, fulfilling the predefined instructional objectives.
