Children's understanding can be improved through learning in school by using appropriate learning methods. This study aims to describe the role of expository methods on the learning ability of science in mildly retarded children. This type of research is library research (library research). Sources of data in this study are from journals related to the expository method. Data analysis technique used is content analysis by maintaining accuracy in the review carried out re-checking between libraries. The results of the research from the expository method play an important role in learning science to recognize pets and wild animals in mild retarded children by applying the teaching procedure of expository methods appropriately by teachers to mild retarded children in order to understand each material being taught.Keyword: Expository Method, Science Learning Skills, Mild Mental Retardation
