Abstract

Abstract
This community service activity is part of the Regular Community Service Program (KKN) carried
out in Sei Suka Deras Village, Sei Suka Subdistrict, Batu Bara Regency. The focus of this activity is to
highlight the importance of literacy and the utilization of the Reading Corner as an enjoyable literacy
medium that sparks interest among elementary school students. It also includes a campaign to promote a
saving habit as part of financial education for students at SD Negeri 06 Sei Suka Deras. By providing
engaging and age-appropriate reading materials, students are introduced to basic financial concepts such
as the importance of saving from an early age, managing pocket money wisely, and distinguishing between
needs and wants. The activities were conducted through an educational and participatory approach to
foster reading habits and financial awareness from an early age. The results of this program show that the
Reading Corner successfully increased students' interest in reading and served as an effective medium for
delivering financial messages in a simple and enjoyable manner. Thus, the Reading Corner has the
potential to become an educational tool for financial literacy that is easy to understand and implement in
an elementary school environment.
