This study indicates that the grammatical cohesion used is conjunctions between sentences, substitution, and the use of adverbs of time, place, and the way children are often used in writing narrative essays. The results of the analysis of the overall verbal ability of 10 students obtained the coherence of sentences and the spelling of each text written by the students. The analysis results obtained in rewriting the text that was heard were that several sentences were not coherent with 22 sentences and a readable one 13. In spelling, there were 19 sentences according to the spelling of the original text, 15 sentences that did not match the spelling. From this analysis, it can be concluded that not all students’ verbal skills were good. The number of students whose verbal skills are good, namely those whose sentences are coherent, is smaller than those who are not legible.
