This study aims to examine the role of the school literacy environment in fostering students’ reading interest at the sixth grade of SD IT Insan Mulya Kotagajah, as well as to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 30 sixth-grade students, three teachers, and the school principal as research subjects. The findings reveal that the literacy environment was developed through classroom reading corners, mini libraries, a “15 minutes reading before class” program, and scheduled literacy competitions. These activities effectively improved students’ reading interest, as indicated by increased frequency of book borrowing, active participation in literacy events, and greater diversity in book choices. Supporting factors include active teacher and principal involvement, parental encouragement, and adequate literacy facilities, while inhibiting factors involve inconsistency in students’ reading habits and limited book collections aligned with their interests. Development suggestions include expanding the variety of books, integrating digital reading resources, and implementing structured reading routines to maintain student engagement. Overall, the school literacy environment plays a strategic role in enhancing reading interest and contributes to building a sustainable literacy culture.
