<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the fact that students' interest in reading narrative texts is still relatively low. Low here means not having one's own awareness in reading books, low attention in reading books both at school and at home, not showing pleasure in reading books and low frequency of reading books. In this context, there needs to be greater attention from all parties, including parents, to increase students' interest in reading. This study aims to analyze the interest in reading narrative texts in fourth-grade students at Mojoagung 01 Elementary School, Pati Regency and to determine the supporting factors and inhibiting factors that influence the interest in reading narrative texts in fourth-grade students at Mojoagung 01 Elementary School, Pati Regency. This research uses a qualitative research type with a descriptive analysis approach. The data sources in this study were the fourth-grade teachers, the principal, and fourth-grade students of SDN Mojoagung 01, Pati Regency.
