This study aims to analyze strategies for increasing reading interest in developing a literate generation among elementary school students and to identify factors influencing literacy culture within school and family environments. The phenomenon of low reading interest among elementary school students has become a significant concern because the rapid development of digital technology tends to shift students’ attention from reading activities to audiovisual entertainment. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method at SDN 1 Notoharjo. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The participants consisted of one classroom teacher and four third-grade students of SDN 1 Notoharjo. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was tested using source triangulation and method triangulation. The findings revealed that literacy strengthening was implemented through morning reading activities, book discussions, the use of visual and digital media such as e-books, and the utilization of reading corners and school libraries. The study also found that students’ reading interest was influenced by the availability of reading materials, the comfort of literacy environments, family support, and the dominant use of gadgets for entertainment purposes. This study contributes scientifically by strengthening the concept of collaborative literacy involving schools, families, and digital technology in developing reading culture among elementary school students. The findings imply the need for more integrated, adaptive, and sustainable literacy programs to improve students’ reading interest in the digital era.  

Social media has become the primary source of information for society, but easy access is not accompanied by adequate digital literacy skills. this study aims to analyze the phenomenon of “asking before reading” as a challenge of literacy on social media. the method used is a literature study with secondary data from scientific journal references and screenshots of user comments on instagram, tiktok, and facebook showing behavior of asking questions without reading the caption first. the results show that the habit of asking before reading is triggered by instant culture, dominance of visual content, and low reading interest. the impacts are decreased critical thinking skills, increased risk of misunderstanding, and spread of unverified information. the conclusion of this study confirms that the phenomenon reflects low digital literacy in society. the proposed solutions are improving digital literacy by encouraging users to read post descriptions, the role of educational institutions in instilling critical thinking from an early age, and clearer content from content creators and platform managers.

Teaching early grade students to read the Quran requires methods appropriate to their developmental characteristics. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the right-brain-based Wafa method in teaching Quran reading to first-grade students at SDIT Al-Fatih Pangkajene. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, homeroom teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted through data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was tested through triangulation of sources and methods.The results showed that the Wafa method was implemented through enjoyable, systematic, and multisensory learning. The teacher used songs, hand gestures, colorful visual media, letter cards, audio murottal (recitation of Quranic verses), repetition, and positive reinforcement to help students recognize the hijaiyah letters, recite them, and build reading confidence. Observations showed that most students were enthusiastic, happy, and active, and were able to master the basics of the hijaiyah letters. This method also strengthens students' learning motivation, self-confidence, and emotional connection with the Quran. Thus, the right-brain-based Wafa method has proven to be relevant as an effective, enjoyable, and appropriate Quranic learning strategy for early elementary school students.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the Al Miftah method with a behavioristic approach in improving the ability of students at the Raudlatul Ulum II Islamic Boarding School to read classical Islamic texts. This method provides stimuli in the form of repetitive exercises and positive reinforcement that actively motivate students to learn nahwu and sharaf rules, the main foundations in learning classical Arabic texts. The results of observations and interviews show significant changes in the students' learning behavior; from being passive to being more active, motivated, and able to understand the learning material better. The use of innovative media such as nadhom songs strengthens the memorization of Arabic language rules in a rhythmic and enjoyable way. The role of teachers as facilitators and evaluators is also very important in guiding and motivating students individually. Evaluation of students' abilities through classical Islamic texts reading tests shows that this method is effective in improving reading performance and understanding of classical Islamic texts. Some limitations, such as limited learning time and the number of certified teachers, are concerns for future development.

This study is motivated by the importance of the relationship between reading and speaking skills in Arabic language learning. Reading, as a receptive skill, plays a significant role in enriching vocabulary, understanding language structures, and constructing meaning, which in turn affects speaking ability as a productive skill. At Baitul Hidayah Islamic Boarding School in Bandung, variations were observed in students’ abilities in reading Arabic texts and speaking Arabic, raising questions about the existence of a relationship between these two skills. This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of Arabic reading skills on Arabic speaking skills among fifth-grade students (Class V-A) in the 2024/2025 academic year. This research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects of the study consisted of all 28 students in Class V-A, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through reading skill tests and speaking skill tests, and subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Spearman rank correlation test. The results indicate a significant relationship with a strong level of correlation between Arabic reading skills and Arabic speaking skills. This is evidenced by the correlation coefficient (r-value) of 0.824, which is higher than the r-table value at a 5% significance level (0.374). It is recommended that the development of reading skills be more systematically integrated with speaking practice. Further research is suggested to involve a larger sample size and more diverse variables to strengthen the findings.

Reading ability is a fundamental skill that must be mastered by first-grade elementary school students as a foundation for understanding various subjects. However, in practice, many students still experience difficulties in early reading, such as recognizing letters, combining syllables, and understanding simple words. One alternative method that can be used to address this issue is the storytelling method in learning activities. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the storytelling method in improving the reading ability of first-grade elementary school students. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method. Data were collected from various sources, including scientific journals, books, and relevant previous studies published within the last five years. The data collection technique was carried out through documentation, while data analysis used content analysis by reviewing, comparing, and synthesizing findings from different sources. The results of the study indicate that the storytelling method is effective in improving students’ early reading skills. This method enhances students’ reading interest, enriches their vocabulary, and helps them recognize letters and words more easily in an enjoyable learning environment. In addition, storytelling creates an interactive classroom atmosphere and increases student engagement in the learning process. In conclusion, the storytelling method is an effective and relevant instructional strategy to improve the reading ability of first-grade elementary school students. Therefore, it is recommended as an innovative approach to support the development of early literacy skills.

Early reading skills are visual activities that involve the process of translating written symbols into sounds. Children's early reading skills will be developed through learning media that are appropriate to the child's developmental stage. This study aims to identify the need for developing pop-up syllabic learning media to improve the early reading skills of children aged 5-6 years. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Identification of needs is based on three aspects, namely learning media, learning strategies, and analysis of early reading skills. The subjects of this study consisted of 3 teachers and the principal of Kindergarten Al Falah Islamic Kindergarten, Pelita Doktora Kindergarten, and Rizani Putra Kindergarten. Data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles Huberman Technique which includes the stages of data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study indicate that identification of needs is based on three aspects, namely learning media, learning strategies and analysis of early reading skills. In identifying learning media, it is necessary to develop interesting learning media. Then, in identifying learning strategies, a fun strategy is needed to achieve children's beginning reading skills, and is child-centered. Meanwhile, the analysis of children's beginning reading skills revealed the need for pop-up book media to improve children's relevant beginning reading skills.

This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in evaluating the Qur’an reading program using the Batiq Izzati method at RA Al-Izzah in Serang City. The principal holds a strategic responsibility in ensuring the quality of education, including the implementation of religious programs that play a crucial role in shaping Islamic character in early childhood. The Batiq Izzati method is an internally developed approach by the Al-Izzah Foundation, designed to facilitate Qur’an reading through a gradual, enjoyable, and child-friendly method. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the principal has fulfilled eight key leadership roles; however, the evaluation process is not yet optimal due to limited time and insufficient parental involvement. Evaluations are conducted daily by teachers and periodically by the principal to determine students' progress through different levels (jilid). Supporting factors include competent teachers, adequate facilities, and a structured evaluation system, while inhibiting factors involve time constraints and limited human resources. This study recommends strengthening the principal's role in continuous evaluation and fostering better collaboration between the school and parents to enhance the program's effectiveness. 

Environmental damage caused by human activities has become an increasingly pressing global issue. Poetry as a literary work has the power to represent ecological problems symbolically and critically. This study aims to describe the representation of the impact of the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems, namely "Menengajah Ke Atas, Merenungi Ozone yang Tak terlihat" and "Membaca Tanda-Tanda." The analysis is based on Greg Garrard's ecocritical study. This study uses a qualitative method with content analysis techniques. There are two stages of analysis, namely the literal and symbolic meaning of the poems, then an ecocritical interpretation is carried out based on Garrard's categories which include pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth. The results of the study indicate that both poems represent the impact of the environmental crisis through health problems due to pollution and radiation, damage to water and forest ecosystems, climate change, threats to human living space, and the decline in biodiversity. The research findings also show that the most dominant categories are pollution and apocalypse, which confirms that the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems is the result of human behavior that ignores nature. Thus, Taufiq Ismail's poems not only function as aesthetic works, but also as cultural criticism and moral warnings for humanity.

This study aims to reflect on the theological meaning of natural disasters in Sumatra (Aceh, Simeulue, Padang) from an ecological perspective. Although Sumatra is geologically prone to earthquakes and tectonic activities due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, hydrometeorological disasters such as floods and landslides are exacerbated by human actions, including deforestation, watershed degradation, and uncontrolled land conversion. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using library research and a theological-reflective method. Primary sources include Sacred Scripture, Church documents (Laudato Si', Gaudium et Spes, General Directory for Catechesis), and relevant ecological theology literature. The findings indicate that natural disasters in Sumatra can be interpreted as "signs of the times" revealing both ecological and moral crises. Disasters are not divine punishment but consequences of humanity's misuse of freedom in managing creation. Ecological conversion is urgently needed at personal, social, and structural levels. Within the catechetical framework, disaster experiences become "texts of life" that guide the faithful toward mature faith expressed in lifestyle changes, solidarity, and responsibility for our common home.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the concept of intention and the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah in prayer from the perspective of the four imams of the schools of jurisprudence: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali. The background of this study is based on the existence of differing opinions among scholars, which often cause confusion among the public regarding the correct practice of prayer. The method used is qualitative research in the form of a literature review (library research), through data collection from classical fiqh texts, scientific journals, and other relevant literature. The data analysis technique employs a descriptive-comparative approach to identify the similarities and differences in the views of each school of thought. The results of the study indicate that all schools of thought agree that intention is an act of the heart that constitutes a valid condition for prayer, yet they differ regarding the timing of its performance and its verbalization. Regarding the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah, the Shafi’i school mandates it as a pillar in every rak’ah, whereas the Hanafi school does not consider it a pillar. The Maliki and Hanbali schools adopt a moderate stance by granting leniency under certain conditions. These differences reflect the richness of Islamic jurisprudence, which is dynamic and flexible. This study is expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding and foster an attitude of tolerance in addressing differences in worship practices.
