<![CDATA[This article aims to examine the implementation of reading corners in elementary schools and their impact on increasing literacy skills. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by analyzing twelve relevant scientific articles published in the last five years. The review process was conducted thru five stages: problem identification, setting inclusion and exclusion criteria, searching for articles using the keywords "reading corner," "reading corner," and "elementary literacy," data extraction, and thematic analysis. The study results show that reading corners have a significant positive impact on the cognitive, affective, and social aspects of students. The improvement in text comprehension skills, the growth of reading motivation, and the creation of a literacy culture in the school environment are the main benefits of an optimally managed reading corner. In addition, the role of teachers as literacy facilitators has proven to be very important in directing the effectiveness of the reading corner.
