Children's education is a critical aspect in shaping the future of society. This article discusses the importance of learning with children as an effective way to enhance their educational experience. Holistic learning is an educational approach that recognizes that a child's development is not limited to academic achievement only, but involves other aspects such as physical, emotional and social interactions. The main goal of holistic education is to develop children as a whole, including life skills, values and deep understanding of themselves and their surroundings. This activity is carried out through active and collaborative interaction. Adults have an important role in creating a constructive learning environment, stimulating creativity, and developing positive emotional relationships. Joint activities such as reading books, simple experiments, and listening to music can be effective media for facilitating intellectual and social growth for young children. This learning is carried out by including elements of play and fun, which can stimulate the curiosity of young children and stimulate their willingness to learn. This “Sinau Bareng” activity shows that learning together with children can increase their intrinsic motivation, as well as form a solid character foundation for future academic achievements.  

Abstract. Children's development is usually accompanied by growth so it is more optimal and depends on a person's biological potential. This potential is the result of the interaction of various interrelated factors, namely genetic factors, bio-physical-psycho-social environment and behavior. The unique process and different end results give each child its own characteristics. This research uses a critical review method by reading various books, journals, or other publications related to the research topic discussed by comparing research methods, processing methods, and the results obtained from each article. The research results show that language development in late childhood can be seen from speech progress such as increasing vocabulary, forming sentences and pronunciation. In late childhood, language development reaches a higher level. Children are able to use more complex sentences. Emotional development in late childhood involves various changes and existence caused by learning experiences and self-understanding. Social development occurs quickly, and children begin to learn to adapt to their surroundings. Social development in children requires the role of parents, educators (teachers) and the environment in synergy to develop social aspects in children so that they are able to socialize with the surrounding environment.

According to the KBBI, the meaning of literacy itself, as reported on the Ministry of Education and Culture's official website, is the ability to write and read.  Etymologically, the term literacy itself comes from the Latin "literatus" which means someone who learns.  In this case, literacy is closely related to the process of reading and writing.  Literacy activities in the learning phase aim to develop the ability to understand texts and relate them to personal experiences, think critically, and process communication skills creatively through activities responding to the texts of enrichment books and textbooks.  Literacy or literacy is a general term that refers to a series of individual abilities and skills in reading, writing, speaking, calculating and solving problems at a certain level of expertise required in everyday life.  Benefits of literacy Expanding insight and knowledge.  Sharpen the ability to capture and understand information from reading.  Literacy is not the same as reading.  Reading and books are the surface technical and physical forms of literacy.  The essence of literacy is how humans gain knowledge and learn to gain knowledge.  Raising self-confidence in children is a parent's responsibility, although cultivating self-confidence is not an easy job.  Apart from requiring patience and example, parents must be clever in creating an atmosphere that is conducive to growing children's self-confidence.  Especially an atmosphere that is able to foster a child's sense of self-esteem which must be understood together, by building a child's self-esteem it will not automatically be able to grow a child's self-confidence.  However, if a child has a healthy sense of self-esteem by knowing and being able to accept himself as he is, including all his limitations, then he will be able to feel ashamed of himself and see everything as part of the reality of life.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of applying reading skills at a glance in improving understanding of scientific work. The method used in this study was library study. The data in this study were obtained from reading reference books and journal articles.  The result of this study is that by applying fleeting reading skills in understanding scientific work, we can improve academic literacy, help students and researchers access information quickly, and form critical and effective individuals in managing information. A fleeting reading skill is not just a technical skill, but a learning strategy that supports the achievement of higher education goals. In extensive reading, these skills are key to achieving an overall picture and basic information of scientific texts. In addition, the application of fleeting reading skills in scientific work provides significant benefits, such as time efficiency and the ability to quickly identify key information, although deep reading remains essential for comprehensive understanding.

Designing and validating structural causal model (SCM) correctness from a dataset whose background knowledge is obtained from a research process is not a common phenomenon. Studies have shown that in many critical areas, such as healthcare and education, researchers develop models from direct acyclic graphs (DAG), a component of an SCM, without testing them. This phenomenon is worrisome and is bound to cast a shadow on the inference estimates that may arise from such models. In this study, we have designed a novel application-based SCM for the first time using the background knowledge obtained from the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) program called the Strengthen Education in Northeast Nigeria (SENSE-EGRA), which is an educational intervention program of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, on the letter identification subtask. This project was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). We employed the conditional independence test (CIT) criteria for the validation of the SCM’s correctness, and the results show a near-perfect SCM.

There is a deficiency in facilities and infrastructure, notably the absence of library space for reading activities. The books at SD Negeri Waruberon are not very engaging, and the reading material is overly challenging. This discourages students from dedicating time to reading books. They tend to engage in less productive activities with their friends, as they find these activities more interesting and enjoyable. In addition to the absence of supporting infrastructure, there are also environmental and familial factors. Many parents choose to provide their children with cellphones or gadgets rather than purchasing engaging books that cater to their needs. This significantly diminishes the interest in reading at SD Negeri Waruberon. For this reason, the service conducted by college students placed at SD Negeri Waruberon is intended to boost the reading interest of SD Negeri Waruberon students through the Reading Corner program. Having a reading corner in each of their classrooms means they have a comfortable space to read books and utilize their free time for meaningful activities that expand their knowledge. Additionally, various methods are employed, including: 1) Planning / Making a design, 2) Demonstrating Design Outcomes, 3) Gathering and Analyzing Information, 4) Implementing the Manufacturing Process. A program to establish a reading corner at SD Negeri Waruberon in Sidoarjo has delivered positive results. The students at SD Negeri Waruberon have shown an increased interest in reading books during their free time. They have developed a deeper understanding of the importance of reading, which has enhanced their insight and critical thinking abilities.

 Government data shows reading comprehension and analysis level of Indonesian citizens is still very low. As a result, there are many Indonesians who read words as they are without understanding what they mean. This is a concerning fact, as humans grow older, humans should become more accustomed to critical thinking: analyzing something from what is implied. Critical thinking is closely related to critical reading as critical reading means reading while analyzing the text. This critical reading training was offered by our PKM team for Al-Ghozali High School students, Bogor. Our team also found out that those students had more problem: they are not familiar with English even though English is an obligatory language in that boarding school. After considering the problem, two English short stories were chosen for the implementation of this PKM. The training was carried out using presentation activities on critical reading, reading activity, and group discussion, as well as pre-test and post-test. The results show that an in-depth presentation on how to make responds in relation to critical reading and reading short stories in English can foster critical thinking and increase English vocabulary for students.

Critical thinking is a process of solving problems based on good judgment and experiences that are by facts. A thought process of solving problems in learning is said to be achieved and can improve critical thinking skills in solving problems during the learning process if the implementation is student-centered. To improve critical thinking skills, improve the quality of education, and produce quality learning outcomes, the government made a breakthrough by holding the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program. Namely a mass movement to foster a love of literacy to meet the need for information and reading for this nation's generation. Literacy is the ability of individuals to read, write, speak, calculate and solve problems at the level of expertise required in work, family, and society. Good literacy and followed up by giving assignments or recitations, can hone skills to make students able to think critically, creatively, innovatively and develop student character.
