Abstract

CHILDREN'S LITERARY LITERACY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR STRENGTHENING THE CHARACTER OF INTEGRATED ISLAMIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Children's literature reading activities require management that connects story understanding with behavioral habituation. This study aims to describe the management of children's literary literacy programs, their implementation strategies, and indications of strengthening student responsibility, concern, and critical thinking. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach at SDIT Assalaam, Sanden, Bantul, in August–October 2026. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, then analyzed through collection, reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The validity of the data was checked through source triangulation. The results of the study showed joint planning, the division of the roles of school principals, teachers and librarians, the provision of reading according to levels, and periodic evaluation of activities. Implementation strategies include reading habits, integration of stories in learning, discussion and reflection, writing works, teacher examples, and parental involvement. Indications of responsibility are seen in the return of books and completion of works; concern in sharing reading and behavioral reflection; while critical thinking is facilitated through the study of elements and actions of characters. The findings explain the process of strengthening character qualitatively. The implication is that literacy management needs to unite access to reading, assistance in the meaning of stories, opportunities to practice values, and monitoring student behavior.
