Abstract

This study aims to describe how the implementation of a reading literacy program using the pohon geulis media enhances students’ reading interest in Grade V at SDN Nangela. The background of this study is the low level of students’ reading interest, which remains a major challenge in the implementation of the School Literacy Movement (Gerakan Literasi Sekolah). The pohon geulis media is a visual and interactive innovation designed in the form of a tree, where students attach “leaves” containing short summaries or brief comments based on the texts they have read. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method, using questionnaires and observation sheets as research instruments. The results indicate that the use of pohon geulis media has a positive effect on improving students’ reading interest. Students perceived the media as attractive, engaging, and easy to use, which supports the achievement of school literacy objectives. Data from the questionnaires and observations show that students became more motivated and enthusiastic about reading after the implementation of this media. Through the pohon geulis media, students not only develop reading habits but also learn to express their understanding of texts creatively. In addition, this media creates a more interactive learning atmosphere, thereby improving the overall quality of learning at school. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more effective instructional approaches to enhance reading interest among elementary school students
