This community service activity aims to improve the reading skills of students at SDK Solafide Setia Bonenggaya through the Aksara Class program, which provides additional fluent reading lessons. This program was initiated due to the persistently low reading skills of some early grade students, which impacts their understanding of the subject matter. The implementation method includes planning, implementation, and evaluation. The activity was carried out through intensive reading lessons using a phonics approach, repeated reading practice, individual mentoring, and the use of engaging and contextual learning media. Participants were early grade students experiencing reading difficulties. The results showed a significant improvement in students' reading skills, including letter recognition, word and sentence fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and simple reading comprehension. Furthermore, students also demonstrated increased learning motivation and confidence in reading in front of the class. Teachers and parents responded positively to the program, as it was seen as helping accelerate the mastery of basic reading skills. Thus, the Aksara Class program has proven effective as a learning assistance effort for students experiencing reading difficulties. This activity is expected to be implemented sustainably and replicated in other schools with similar conditions
