This article discusses and examines the allusions and meanings in the lyrics of the song entitled 'Amin Paling Serius' by Sal Priadi and Nadin Amizah from the perspective of the use of language styles and allusions. Due to the development of pop music in Indonesia, Millennial and Z generation, children are more likely to like pop and foreign language songs so songs in Indonesian begin to fade and reduce listeners, therefore it is necessary to introduce Indonesian songs so that Millennial children are more familiar with their own culture.

This article aims to implement a culture of literacy to children starting from an early age. This is due to the rise of the digital era which makes people, especially children, choose to spend more time playing gadgets. Therefore, at this time there is a lot of degradation of insight and knowledge due to lack of motivation to familiarize themselves with reading literacy.

Therefore, an understanding of literacy culture from an early age needs to be instilled because at that age, the age of the child is stepping on the "golden age" or golden period, which ranges from when the child is 1 to 6.5 years old. At that time, children experience the development of growth and grow rapidly, so that to apply the culture of literacy methods, interest in reading or writing is easy to apply and easier to get used to.

The development of music from the past until now continues to grow, from traditional musical instruments to modern musical instruments that are currently widely used. However, today's children or adolescents are more interested in modern musical instruments such as guitars, saxophones, violins and other modern musical instruments than traditional musical instruments such as suling, gendang and other traditional musical instruments. So it is necessary to teach from an early age by introducing both traditional and modern musical instruments. By taking advantage of technological developments, especially in multimedia technology, we need a system that can facilitate teaching through computers or commonly called CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction). This was done because the Mekar Arum Kindergarten children were still not interested in musical instruments. So we need an application to introduce musical instruments that can be used in learning while playing to attract children's attention. With this application, it can make it easier for teachers to teach introduction to musical instruments for young children without having to meet children at kindergartens and make it easier for children to recognize musical instruments and be more interested in traditional and musical instruments modern.

Malnutrition has always been a global problem and is the main cause of child mortality in developing countries. Nutritional status is a measure of success in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers which can be seen from the achievement of toddler's weight. The short-term effects of malnutrition on toddlers are physical growth disorders in children, metabolic disorders, brain development disorders, and intelligence disorders. In the long term, malnutrition will cause a decrease in learning outcomes and cognitive abilities, decreased immunity, the risk of developing diabetes, heart and blood vessel disease, obesity, stroke, cancer, and disability in old age. To find out about the growth and development of early childhood, especially in relation to the development of early childhood nutritional values, regular measurements of the height and weight of toddlers from an early age are carried out through Posyandu activities. Toddler height and weight data will be grouped according to the nutritional characteristics of each toddler. In this study, infants will be clustered based on their nutritional characteristics using the K-Means algorithm clustering method. Based on the evaluation results, the number of clusters 3 is more optimal than the number of clusters 5 in the toddler dataset used in the study. It is hoped that the research results obtained can serve as a basis or recommendation material for posyandu throughout Indonesia to determine the nutritional status of the under-five age group, so that the handling is more appropriate and can help prevent malnutrition in under-fives.

Learning to read in elementary schools is considered very important. This is due to the fact that learning to read plays not only a role in improving a child's language skills, but not only the ability of that, namely to improve students in learning other subjects. However, the teaching of reading in elementary schools is still below standard and far from expectations. This is because the development of children's reading habits is still not the main emphasis in learning to read in elementary schools. In addition, learning to read is still considered monotonous and boring. Some educators continue to use this method ineffectively when teaching students to read. On the other hand, the instructor ignores the development of students' metacognitive skills through mastery of various reading methods. Students who are still considered to have relatively low reading skills are likely to be affected by this situation. This paper provides a number of alternative reading learning techniques that are expected to improve students' understanding of basic school reading, especially in the high grades.
