Abstract

This community service program focuses on addressing the problem of low reading skills among lower grade students in Kahayan Tengah Subdistrict, Pulang Pisau Regency. Data from the Education Office (2023/2024) reveals that around 40% of third grade students in several elementary schools, such as in Bahu Palawa and Pamarunan, are not yet fluent in reading. This shows the urgency of improving teachers' capacity to deal with these learning difficulties. As a solution, a syllable learning model was introduced, designed to provide a systematic conceptual framework for letter recognition and word formation, thereby making it easier for students to achieve reading proficiency, which is also the foundation for writing. This reinforcement activity was carried out using a classic method that combined counseling, discussion, and hands-on practice. There were 38 participants, all teachers from the Hapakat Cluster 4 Teacher Working Group (KKG), which covers four elementary schools. Based on observations, 90% of the target participants successfully practiced the lessons well. Evaluation of the students showed an average score of 59.06 with a classical completeness of 25%, indicating the need for continuous intervention. The output of this program is an increase in teachers' knowledge and understanding in implementing early reading learning, which is expected to improve the quality of learning in the classroom. More broadly, the targeted final output is the publication of scientific articles in the PengabdianKu Journal of Muhammadiyah University Palangka Raya and the registration of Intellectual Property Rights .

Abstract

Preserving traditional games is crucial to maintain cultural values and national identity, which are being threatened by technological developments and modern games. Traditional games are not just an entertainment, but also a platform for learning social and cultural values such as cooperation, honesty, and tolerance, which are essential for children's motor, cognitive, and character development. Therefore, introducing and preserving traditional games for early childhood is a strategic way to maintain cultural heritage and support their holistic development. This community service was addressed to Kartika XVII-18 Kindergarten in Palangka Raya where traditional games have not been explicitly integrated into learning activities. The local cultural content that students learn is still limited to artistic aspects such as traditional Dayak dances for ceremonial purposes and competitions. Meanwhile, implementing traditional games in the school environment is also hampered by the lack of supporting facilities for applying traditional games in learning activities. This community service was held with a participatory approach and hands-on learning through stages of socialization of traditional games, demonstrations, practice of traditional games by children, and joint evaluation/reflection which involves children and teachers actively. This activity is expected to overcome the partner's problems as well as supporting
