Abstract

The 15-minute reading activity before classroom instruction is an effort to improve reading interest and literacy skills among elementary school students. This study aims to describe the implementation and impact of the 15-minute reading activity before learning sessions at SDN Kedungbanteng 2. A descriptive qualitative method was employed using observation and brief reflection techniques. The research subjects included students from grades 1 to 6, accompanied by community service (KKN) students. The results indicate that the 15-minute reading activity effectively increases students’ reading interest, reading habits, and reading comprehension. In addition, the activity creates a more conducive classroom atmosphere and enhances students’ readiness for learning. Consistent reading habituation contributes to the development of a school literacy culture and positive character traits, such as discipline, focus, and responsibility. Therefore, the 15-minute reading activity is effective and relevant as part of the implementation of the School Literacy Movement in elementary schools.
