Abstract

Indonesian students read more than before, yet their reading comprehension remains low, a paradox that calls for systematic learning management rather than isolated literacy activities. This study describes and analyzes innovative learning management for improving student literacy at SDN Rancaerang in Sukabumi Regency and SDN Pasirnagara in Cianjur Regency, covering planning, organizing, implementation, evaluation, obstacles, and solutions. A qualitative multi-site case study collected data from fourteen informants through in-depth interviews, observation, and document study. The data were analyzed with the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, and trustworthiness was established through source and technique triangulation, member checking, and an audit trail. Planning used the National Education Report as a diagnostic baseline for literacy-based modules. Organizing relied on Literacy Teams validated by principal decree and on grouping students by reading competency. Implementation combined Project-Based Learning and interactive reading corners, delivered through digital acceleration at Pasirnagara and local wisdom contextualization at Rancaerang. Evaluation used formative assessment and student portfolios. Constraints in infrastructure, human resources, and funding were addressed through material rotation, teacher capacity building, and the mobilization of external social capital. Both schools, however, set activity plans rather than comprehension indicators, which left the evaluation without a baseline. The study concludes that the managerial logic of literacy improvement is consistent across both sites while the delivery channel varies with geography and resources, and that the main remaining task is to define measurable comprehension targets at the planning stage.
