The literacy program implemented at MTs Muslimat NU as part of the MBKM initiative addresses the low reading interest among students by fostering a sustainable reading culture. This program aimed to optimize the school library as a center of learning and increase students’ participation in literacy activities. Activities were structured to accommodate gender-specific groups, dividing each class into two sessions—one for female students and another for male students—conducted from Monday to Thursday. Each group participated twice weekly, engaging in reading exercises, book discussions, and digital literacy training. The methods involved collaborative planning with teachers and students of MBKM, surveys, and focus group discussions to identify the specific needs of the school community. The results demonstrated significant improvements in reading habits, as evidenced by a 30% increase in library visits and active participation in literacy clubs. Additionally, the program fostered the emergence of student leaders who encouraged their peers to engage in reading and critical discussions. This participatory approach proved effective in creating a dynamic literacy ecosystem and strengthening social cohesion within the school. The findings underline the importance of integrating literacy programs with active community participation and optimizing libraries as educational hubs, ensuring long-term benefits in developing reading skills and fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing.

In line with the rapid advancement of technology, there has been a significant decline in reading interest across various age groups—both adults and children. One of the main contributing factors is the increasing addiction to digital devices, which has shifted attention away from reading activities and learning responsibilities at home. In response to this issue, we have initiated a movement aimed at revitalizing the spirit of literacy through the establishment and development of the Baitul Ilmi Community Reading Center located in Gesang Village. As an initial step, we have launched a book donation program, open to anyone who wishes to contribute books to support the sustainability of this literacy initiative. Based on our preliminary study, the primary target audience of this program includes children at the kindergarten and elementary school levels. To enhance their engagement and participation, we have adopted the field trip method as our key strategy. This method has proven to effectively increase children's enthusiasm and has received a positive response from the local community, particularly from parents. This initiative is also supported by various community stakeholders, including village authorities, the Family Welfare Empowerment Team (TP PKK), and the Gesang Village Youth Organization (Karang Taruna), all of whom are committed to fostering a culture of literacy from an early age to ensure a brighter future for the next generation.

Dede Sobayar. 182100092. 2021. Application of Arabic Language Lessons in the Habit of Reading the Qur'an As Muslims, we are required to always read and study the Qur'an in accordance with the decision issued by the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, which requires every Muslim to continue to improve their abilities and interest in reading the Koran. To achieve this goal, many Al-Qur'an study institutions have created various methods, one of which is by linking Arabic language lessons to the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an. Learning Arabic is one application in getting used to reading the Koran. By getting into the habit of reading the Qur'an through Arabic lessons, interest in reading and the ability to improve reading of the Qur'an, such as tajwid, makharijul letters, and others, will increase. The aim of this research is to get an overview of the application of Arabic language lessons in the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an. The research method used is descriptive, which can explain the topic to be studied. The results of this study show that Arabic plays an important role in reading the Koran. The background to this research is that there are still many children who lack focus and lack enthusiasm in implementing the Al-Qur'an reading habit program, and do not pay enough attention to and implement habituation programs both at school and at home. Therefore, the application of Arabic language lessons in the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an is able to increase students' reading interest, skills and fluency in reading the Al-Qur'an, both at school, home and in everyday life.

The aim of this research is to describe the reading interest of fifth-grade students at SD 101776 Sampali, identify the contributing factors, and seek solutions to improve it. The subjects of this study are the fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 101776 Sampali. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques include interviews and questionnaires to ensure objective data gathering. Based on observations and interviews with the fifth-grade teacher at SD Negeri 101776 Sampali, supported by distributing questionnaires to the students, it was found that students show little enthusiasm for reading and seldom seek out answers on their own. Instead, they often ask for answers that are already available in the reading materials. Students tend to read only when instructed by the teacher. Even reading textbooks is often done only when there are exams or tests. The low interest in reading among students is also influenced by the type of reading materials available. Typically, students are required to read materials related to their school subjects and are pressured by upcoming exams. This leads to a situation where students view reading as a means to achieve grades rather than for enjoyment.

The Indonesian language, as the national language, plays a crucial role in higher education, serving not only as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for the development of scientific knowledge. However, the understanding and usage of academic Indonesian in universities remain challenging. This study analyzes the comprehension and utilization of academic Indonesian at the Universitas Negeri Medan by both students and lecturers. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach with a literature review technique. Findings reveal that the usage of Indonesian still falls short of linguistic standards, particularly in formal academic contexts. Factors such as a lack of reading interest, inadequate awareness of the importance of academic Indonesian, and the predominance of foreign language usage impact the comprehension and application of academic Indonesian. Therefore, efforts are required to enhance the understanding and usage of academic Indonesian, including through mentoring, training, and increasing awareness of the significance of proper national language usage.
