<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of the School Literacy Movement (SLM) on the reading interest and reading ability of elementary school students. A quantitative survey was conducted using a questionnaire distributed to 97 teachers selected by simple random sampling from a population of 3,058 teachers, with a 10% margin of error calculated using the Slovin formula. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that SLM implementation, reading interest, and reading ability were all in the high category. Due to non-normal data distribution, Spearman's rank correlation was employed. The analysis revealed a significant, moderately strong correlation between SLM and reading interest (r = 0.492, p < 0.05), whereas the correlation between SLM and reading ability was weak and not statistically significant (r = 0.057, p > 0.05). This study contributes empirical evidence on SLM implementation in Eastern Indonesia, especially in Southwest Sumba Regency.]]>
