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.

Christian religious education has become an integral part of the education system in many countries around the world. However, with the development of digital technology, new challenges arise in providing relevant and effective Christian religious education to the digital generation. This study aims to investigate the contribution of Christian religious education in facing the digital era. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with Christian religious educators and analysis of related documents. The results of the study show that Christian religious education can make a significant contribution in the digital era by utilizing technology as a learning and communication tool. Christian religious education approaches that are centered on Christian beliefs, values, and teachings remain relevant in the digital era. Technology can be used to access a wider range of Christian religious texts and materials, connect students to the Christian community virtually, and provide platforms for more interactive discussion and reflection. However, this study also identified several challenges in implementing Christian religious education in the digital era, such as the risk of misuse of technology, the tendency to use it passively, and the difficulty in integrating the spiritual dimension in a virtual environment. In order to optimize the contribution of Christian religious education in the digital era, this research recommends adequate training for Christian religious educators in the use of technology, developing relevant and meaningful digital content, and careful monitoring of the use of technology in Christian religious education.

The success of a nation is greatly influenced by its young generation. Teachers are the main actors in education in schools. Education is a human effort in order to develop the potential of students to the maximum. In the learning process, there are still many students who have learning difficulties. The focus of this study discusses learning difficulties in terms of children who are lazy to learn. Teachers as educators must be able to analyze the problems of students who are lazy to learn and find solutions to overcome them. The role of the teacher is not only as teaching lessons that have been compiled in the curriculum, but also as a guide, class manager, motivator, facilitator, inspiration, and many other teacher tasks. The cause of students who are lazy to learn is caused by two factors, internal factors (within students) and external factors (outside of students). The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative by making observations and interviews and looking from other articles to support statements that have been found in the field.

This study aims to analyze the learning interest of high class private elementary school students in Mathematics. Interest in learning is a key factor in student learning success, and a deep understanding of student interest in learning can help develop effective learning strategies. This study involved a sample of students from high class private elementary schools consisting of several age groups. Data was collected using a questionnaire specifically designed to measure students' interest in Mathematics. The questionnaire included questions regarding students' interest in the subject, confidence in solving mathematical problems, and students' perceptions of the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. The results of the data analysis showed that most of the high class private elementary school students had a negative interest in learning Mathematics. They have not shown high interest in this subject and have no strong confidence in solving math problems. In addition, students are also not aware of the relevance of Mathematics in their daily lives. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide valuable insights for educators and policy makers in increasing students' interest in learning Mathematics.

Parents are the primary and first educators for their children, because it is from them that children first receive education. The role of parents as the main and first educators for children is also due to their heredity being destined to be parents who give birth. So naturally, like it or not, parents who are the main and first responsible for children can receive education. The parenting style of parents of children with special needs is very influential in the survival of children with special needs in the future, if parents cannot choose the right parenting style it will have an impact on the child's development process. Children with special needs are children who need extra attention from the people around them, both parents, teachers, relatives and peers. Children who have special needs do not have to be shunned or avoided but rather need to be approached and given assistance, so that the child's potential can develop properly. For children who experience health problems, both physically and mentally, special services should be given compared to other children. Likewise in learning activities, they must be provided with facilities and infrastructure according to their needs which can support the success of learning, especially to help their physical and mental development towards a better one.    

Apart from being a teacher, the teacher also plays an important role as a motivator (motivator or generates motivation for students). In almost every school we will encounter cases of children who are unable to achieve achievements. The achievements referred to in this case do not always have to be in terms of being class champions, but can be defined in other words, children are able to follow the lessons given by the teacher during the learning process. Children with special needs or what we often know as ABK are children who really need help in the form of special treatment from educators who have more experience and understanding of children with special needs.ABK is also the same as other normal humans who need proper educational services. Where through these educational services it is hoped that those with special needs have an environment to be able to establish interactions with other friends, besides that they are also expected to be able to develop the abilities and potential that exist within them. As for the types of children with special needs, they include: 1) cleft (speech impaired) 2) blind (blind) 3) hearing (deaf) 4) paralyzed (damaged) 5) emotional disorders (handicapped) 6) down syndrome 7) Children with Learning Difficulties.
