<![CDATA[Early financial literacy is a crucial foundation for shaping responsible economic behavior in adulthood. However, children in marginal communities often face limited access to learning resources and structured financial education. This community service program aimed to improve early childhood financial literacy by establishing a thematic reading corner at PAUD Ceria TPA 2 Karya Jaya Palembang. The program employed a participatory educational approach involving teacher training, the development of a financial literacy reading corner, the use of audiovisual learning media, and classroom mentoring. The results indicate improved teacher capacity in implementing storytelling and read-aloud techniques, increased children’s interest in reading, and enhanced understanding of basic financial concepts such as saving, needs, and wants. The findings suggest that integrating reading-based literacy and audiovisual media is effective in fostering early financial awareness. This program demonstrates strong relevance to community needs and shows sustainability potential through institutional commitment and teacher engagement.]]>
