Literacy activities in schools aim to improve students' reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Each literacy activity is designed to form a fun reading habit and foster a love of books, as well as hone effective communication skills.

One of the main activities in the literacy program is "Shared Reading Time," where students are given special time to read books of their choice independently. This activity can be done in the school library or in a classroom with a comfortable atmosphere. In addition, the school also holds a "Book Discussion" to encourage students to share opinions and ideas about the books they have read, so that their critical thinking and communication skills are further honed.

In addition to reading, writing activities are also a main focus, such as writing short stories, daily journals, or articles on topics they are interested in. Thus, students can develop their creativity and the ability to organize ideas clearly and in a structured manner.

In addition, literacy activities also include listening and speaking, for example through "In-depth Stories" where students listen to stories from teachers or classmates, then they are invited to discuss the story, or do a small presentation on the topic being studied.

Overall, literacy activities in schools do not only focus on academic aspects, but also aim to shape the character of students who have good communication skills, are critical, and creative.
