Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Rahmipa Sulistya Dewi et. all | Analysis of Literacy Program in Improving Student Reading in SDN 3 Pagar Alam INTRODUCTION One important aspect of quality education is the mastery of literacy. Literacy is an individual's ability to process and understand information during the reading and writing process(Herawati et al. Literacy is not only about receiving information, but also includes the ability to think critically in analyzing, reviewing and assessing information, as well as to create, process and disseminate new ideas(Dewi et al. , 2. Literacy is no longer just limited to the ability to read and write, but also includes broader skills, such as digital, numeracy, science, cultural, financial and visual literacy. The mastery of these various types of literacy is very important in preparing individuals to face the challenges and opportunities that exist in everyday life, both in the personal, social and professional domains (Subhananto et al. , 2. The literacy culture applied in Indonesia is still low and lacking, as there are still many people who do not understand literacy. In today's cultural awakening, books are not always the top priority(Jusnita et al. , 2. Literacy cannot be separated from the world of education because literacy is a means for students to communicate, recognize, understand and apply the knowledge they get in their daily lives, both in their home and social environments(Alpian & Yatri, 2. Therefore, the role of education in Indonesia is very much needed in the development of the current literacy culture. The school literacy movement is a long-term and comprehensive initiative in transforming schools into active, fun and child-friendly literacy learning institutions, where students, teachers and staff members, as well as the entire community involved in schools show empathy, care, curiosity, love of learning, and are skilled in communicating so that they have a positive impact on their environment (Anggraini et al. , 2. The school literacy movement has been implemented throughout Indonesia and introduced to every education unit(Kusripinah & Subrata, 2. The concern of this school literacy movement is the interest and motivation of students in participating in this program so that they do not feel bored and bored. The importance of introducing and teaching literacy from an early age will support a bright future generation(Ilmi et al. , 2. Although based on the field, this reading literacy has not fully helped improve students' literacy culture(Ningrum et al. , 2. in her research explained that the implementation of the school literacy movement could not be carried out optimally, because the availability of funds was not really sufficient so that it became an obstacle in developing school literacy movement activities. Another fact in NingrumAos research . states that there are several factors inhibiting literacy activities such as students who like to skip class when literacy activities in the classroom are carried out due to lack of interest in reading, and the lack of reading facilities in each corner of the school and classroom corner. This phenomenon has also occurred at SDN 3 Pagar Alam, which is one of the schools that has implemented the GLS program since 2021. However, in its implementation, it still experiences various obstacles such as the recently renovated and relocated library room, the lack of interest in reading of lowgrade students, especially grade 3, the change of a new principal and the policy on literacy activities has not changed, so it continues the previous literacy activities, namely 15 minutes of reading before learning and creating a class reading corner, but the class reading corner was not found by researchers in each class(Prayoga et al. , 2. So based on the above study, the author applies the title "Analysis of the Reading and Writing Literacy Program in Improving Reading Skills of SDN 3 Pagar Alam Students". Where the focus of this study lies in examining the implementation of the literacy program, namely 15 minutes of reading before learning in class and the inhibiting factors and supporting factors in implementing the literacy program, and how the results of the improvement after the implementation of 15 minutes of reading before organized learning.

Based on the results of research and discussion collected through observation and interviews that have been processed, it can be concluded that. The literacy program implemented at SD Negeri 3 Pagar Alam in improving students' reading skills is 15 minutes of literacy reading before learning. In its implementation, this literacy program is very helpful for teachers in improving students' reading skills. With this program, students become accustomed to and make reading part of their hobby. This is evidenced by the development of students' reading skills in grade 3. The factors that support and hinder the implementation of the literacy program are reading and writing with 15 minutes of reading before learning. The existence of learning facilities in the form of projectors and speakers, as well as the provision of library space and reading materials that match the needs of students according to age level are supporting factors for the program. On the other hand, the differences in student characteristics, the uncertain opening hours of the library, the condition of the books, the lack of teacher training on basic literacy, and the lack of supervision are obstacles to the effective running of the program.
