Reading interest and students' creative thinking skills cannot be optimal in the current learning process. Several things cause this. One of them is low learning models. It happens because the learning activities applied by the teacher are less innovative and varied. This study aims to analyze the effect of using Revised Bloom's Taxonomy-Oriented Learning Activities on reading interest and creative thinking skills of elementary school students. The study used a quasi-experimental research in the form of a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study was all fourth-grade students in Gugus 5, Kecamatan Buleleng consisted of 6 schools with 125 students. The determination of the sample is carried out using a cluster random sampling technique. The sample of this study was 58 students consisting of 30 fourth grade students as the experimental class and 28 fourth grade students as the control class. In this study, the data collection process used was a test and questionnaire method. The test method used is in the form of essay questions which are used to measure students' creative thinking skills. The questionnaire method was used to measure students' perceptions of reading interest. Data analysis methods used are quantitative descriptive analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The hypothesis testing used in this study was Manova, with 0.00 < 0.05.

Designing a Reading Interest Measurement Instrument Using 4 Dimensions (Awareness, Willingness, Attention, and Feelings) in Indonesia
The low reading interest of students in Indonesia is a problem that needs more proper resolution. UNESCO data from January 2020 categorized the country as second from the bottom regarding world literacy, signifying an extremely low reading interest among the citizens. This study aimed to develop a reading interest measurement instrument, specifically in Central Java, Indonesia. The instrument was developed using the 4D development model, which consists of four stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. The data obtained were qualitative and quantitative data from the research sample of 300 students, 100 teachers, and 5 reading experts from Sebelas Maret University. The validity test of the instrument used Correlation Product Moment and the reliability test for the instrument used the Alpha Cronbach's formula. The validity test of the instrument resulted in 33 statement items being eligible and the reliability test for the instrument obtained that the instrument is acceptable or reliable. At the instrument development test stage, respondents who assessed the reading interest measurement instrument indicated that the achievement percentage was 84%, which means it is very good or valid. Hence, no revision was needed. The results showed that the instrument was considered very good and could be used by academics in schools and universities to measure reading interest.

Reading and the First World War : readers, texts, archives
What role did reading play in the lives of those who experienced the First World War? This volume demonstrates that reading was both the prime leisure occupation and the main means for transmitting information for combatants and civilians during the war. Ranging from ordinary soldiers to conscientious objectors and from to war artists to civilians in occupied Belgium, the readers uncovered in this volume read for a multitude of reasons. Letters and books sent from home could bring soldiers in touch with family members and memories of lives lived before the war. Newspapers and trench journals helped maintain morale in the trenches and communicated war news and propaganda to civilian audiences. Bringing together respected specialists and emerging scholars, 'Reading in the First World War' reveals the diversity of reading practices at the time and the central importance of reading in the experience of conflict, at the front and at home.

Language Teaching Strategies Impact on Third-Grade Students Reading Outcomes and Reading Interest
Primary school students have difficulties with text comprehension, and therefore support from teachers via proper language teaching strategies is needed. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of language teaching strategies on students' reading outcomes and reading interest. In the current paper, two reading outcomes - vocabulary knowledge and understanding text - and students' interest in reading were considered. In the study, 220 Estonian-speaking primary school students and their native language teachers (N = 12) from 12 schools participated. The results revealed that interest in reading, vocabulary knowledge and text comprehension were positively correlated. Path analysis indicated that the strategy of developing reading interest had the strongest impact on both reading outcomes and students' reading interest. In addition, the strategy of developing vocabulary had a positive effect on students' vocabulary knowledge. Surprisingly, the strategies of teaching text comprehension and teaching grammar rules had negative effects on students' reading outcomes and reading interest. The findings emphasise the importance of proper usage of teaching strategies in primary school language lessons.
