Meanwhile, the Y variable obtained an average value of 65 values are at intervals of 60-69 with enough categories. The relationship between children's ability to speak with peer communication obtained by the correlation coefficient of 0.77. This correlation coefficient number is included in the category of strong / high because it is in the interval 0,600 - 0,799.
