Abstract

This study aims to analyze the enhancement of reading skills among elementary school students through the "Sudut Baca Bersuara" (Read-Aloud Reading Corner) program. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was employed to describe the implementation process of the reading literacy activities and their impact on students' reading abilities. The research subjects consisted of elementary school teachers and students participating in the program. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis, involving the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the "Sudut Baca Bersuara" program successfully improved student engagement in reading, reading fluency, comprehension of reading material, and student confidence when reading aloud in class. Furthermore, the program fostered an interest in reading and positive literacy habits among students through routine, interactive read-aloud sessions. However, the program's implementation still faces challenges, such as time constraints and a lack of variety in reading materials. Therefore, support regarding literacy facilities and more optimal activity management is required to ensure the program's sustainability.
