EFFECTIVE TEACHER STRATEGIES IN STRENGTHENING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' READING LITERACY: LITERATURE REVIEW
Keywords:
Teacher's Strategy, Reading Literacy, Elementary SchoolAbstract
The low reading literacy level of elementary school students in Indonesia is influenced by a lack of interest in reading, non-varied learning methods, and an unsupportive learning environment. This study was carried out through a literature study of eight scientific articles published in 2020–2025 that were relevant to the topic. Analysis was carried out using a thematic synthesis approach to identify effective learning strategies. The results show that project-based learning, cooperative learning, literacy discussions, use of digital technology, motivational approaches, and parental involvement have a positive contribution to improving students' reading literacy skills. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of selecting contextual and collaborative strategies, adapted to student characteristics and supported by a conducive learning environment.
