Abstract

This community service program is a storytelling training program through folklore storytelling activities for elementary and junior high school age children at the Localish Reading Corner This training activity is a continuation program of the ART PkM Program (Ask, Read, and Tell) which was implemented last year. In this program, Tell (telling stories) begins to be taught, children are not only able to tell stories, but know how to tell stories. Community development practice is the method used in this program. Meanwhile, the steps used in the learning process are: orientation, training, feedback, and continuation. Pre-test and post-test are carried out to determine the success of the program. From the test results, it can be concluded that the storytelling skills of elementary and middle school aged children at the Localish Reading Corner in Kampung Cantilan, Sukarame Village improved after participating in this program. Children can not only tell stories but are able to convey them in a structured, expressive, interactive and creative manner. Interest in reading has increased as seen from the increasing demand for additional books in reading sessions.
