Reading Literacy Management In Improving The Quality Of Elementary School Student Learning

Abstract

Reading literacy is a fundamental competency that plays a crucial role in improving the learning quality of elementary school students. However, low reading interest and suboptimal management of literacy programs remain major challenges in primary education. This study aims to describe the management of reading literacy in improving students’ learning quality at SDN Sukahati, Indramayu Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that reading literacy management at SDN Sukahati was implemented through four stages: planning literacy programs based on students’ needs, organizing the roles of school stakeholders, implementing routine and integrated reading literacy activities within the learning process, and conducting continuous program evaluation. The implementation of reading literacy management had a positive impact on increasing students’ reading interest, text comprehension skills, and overall learning quality. This study recommends strengthening school commitment and enhancing literacy facilities as sustainable efforts to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools.
