Reading needs to start from an early age (primary school). Because if reading becomes a habit that is done every day, it will automatically become a tradition that will continue to be carried out. Interest in reading is one of the main factors that can influence students' reading ability. This is because the presence of interest in terms of desire, or habit of reading in a person (student) will automatically lead that person (student) to read with his or her own will. In increasing students' interest in reading, a teacher must be able to play a good role, including being able to create a learning atmosphere and environment that can make students comfortable in the teaching and learning process and be able to foster interest, motivation and encourage students to learn. The research methods used in this research are observation methods, field surveys, open interviews and documentation. Based on research data, it shows that there are actions or steps taken by the teacher by reading 15 minutes before learning begins, creating a reading corner, using the library as a place to read. So it can be concluded that there is a good role for the school in terms of the GMIT Pulelang Elementary School teachers' board in increasing students' interest in reading.
