Implementasi Gerakan Literasi Sekolah melalui Kegiatan Kuliah Kerja Nyata dalam Menumbuhkan Minat Baca Murid Sekolah Dasar Negeri 1 Lambu

Abstract

This community service program aimed to describe the implementation of the School Literacy Movement through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata / KKN) at SDN Desa Lambu as an effort to enhance students' reading interest. The program employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving students, teachers, and KKN participants as the subjects. The activities included coordination, literacy counseling, reading practice, mentoring, evaluation, and follow-up. Data were collected through observations, informal interviews, documentation, and progress notes, and were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results showed that students responded positively, as reflected in their increased enthusiasm for reading, willingness to ask questions, active participation in discussions, and ability to retell the content of reading materials. The mentoring provided by KKN participants also assisted students who experienced reading difficulties and created a more interactive and communicative learning environment. The program proved effective in strengthening the school's literacy culture and fostering students' interest in reading. However, its sustainability requires regular reading habits, adequate reading materials, consistent teacher mentoring, and continuous support from all stakeholders to ensure long-term improvements in students' literacy skills and learning outcomes.
