Morning Story’s Habit: The Impact of Children’s Interest in Reading
Abstract
Low interest in reading is a big challenge in Indonesia. The love of books needs to be fostered in early childhood with consistent and fun morning literacy habituation. This study aims to describe the process and impact of “Morning Story” morning habituation activities on children's interest in reading. This qualitative research method is presented with a descriptive approach. The informants of this research are teachers who teach children aged 5-6 years at Haniful Fikri IT Kindergarten, Paya Tampah Village, Aceh Tamiang. Researchers collected data through observation techniques. Data were analyzed through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the habituation of “Morning Story” has an impact on fostering interest in reading in children. The habituation of “Morning Story” is supported by the school's KOSP (standard operational curriculum procedure), the consistency of teachers implementing “Morning Story” with fun methods, equipped with interesting animated books and props. As well as motivation to read by providing a library, reading corner, and book borrowing program in the library. The effectiveness of “Morning Story” habituation to increase children's interest in reading can be further researched.
