This study attempts to examine the morphological awareness of Indonesian children between the ages of 5 and 6 in two kindergartens. Specifically, the study aims to observe children's morphological awareness in two schools that have a different approach in terms of teaching reading and writing towards their students. Students in school A are implicitly taught reading and writing skills through various activities while students in school B are explicitly taught alphabetic symbols to improve their reading and writing skills. The examination focuses on children’s ability in identifying and producing reduplication morphemes. Participants in this study were 42 children of two kindergartens in North Bandung. The study employs descriptive quantitative method because the collected data is quantitative information which is presented in numerical data in form of scores on two different types of test. The data are collected in one month. The findings show that Indonesian kindergarten children aged 5-6 begin to have awareness of reduplication morphemes. By considering the two schools' approach to teaching reading and writing towards children, children in the school which applies direct teaching reading and writing approach have a slightly higher awareness in reduplication morphemes.
