Gelis, Bili, Diary Literasi, and Prica: Programs to Strengthen Early Grade Reading and Writing Literacy
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the implementation of the “Gelis,” “Bili,” “Diary Literasi,” and Prica programs for strengthening reading and writing literacy in elementary school. These programs were implemented by undergraduate students participating in the Kampus Mengajar Batch-7 initiative in collaboration with elementary school teachers. The study employed a qualitative approach with an exploratory method. The research subjects were first-grade students at an elementary school located in Arjasari, Indonesia. The subjects were selected based on the schools assigned by the Kampus Mengajar Batch 7 program. The study was conducted over four months, from March to June 2024. Data were collected through documentation study, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation. Data analysis was conducted using open coding, categorization, axial coding, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate improvements in students’ ability to read simple texts and write short paragraphs. Students also demonstrated increased interest in reading, developed habits of writing or drawing during their free time, and expressed enjoyment in storytelling activities or listening to stories. This collaborative literacy program facilitated teachers in implementing reading and writing instruction, particularly in early grade classrooms, as the programs, designed collaboratively by students, academic supervisors, and teachers, were practical, adaptable to various contexts, and easily integrated into intraclass learning activities.
