This research is motivated by the low interest and poor composition writing skills of students due to the use of unengaging learning models. The purpose of this study is to improve the learning process and determine the effectiveness of the Picture and Picture model in enhancing composition writing skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 1 Tagog, Cipatat Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency.

In the second cycle, 13 students (76.47%) achieved mastery with an average score of 71.17. In the third cycle, 15 students (88.23%) achieved mastery with an average score of 81.76. In conclusion, the Picture and Picture model is effective in improving composition writing skills in Bahasa Indonesia learning in fourth grade.
