Literacy skills are a manifestation of an individual’s ability or quality of being literate, encompassing the ability to read and write, both physically, tactically, and technically, within a unit to carry out a mission or task. In this case, the mission is to enhance the reading interest of elementary school students in the Cilengkrang District, Bandung Regency. In line with Cope and Kalantzis (2000), multiliteracy pedagogy has evolved to encompass multilingual and multimodal dimensions of literacy[1]. This has implications for schools and communities that need to develop practices and skills in using various ways to express and comprehend ideas and information through conventional text forms as well as innovative text forms, symbols, and multimedia [2]. Literacy skills can be enhanced by adapting current learning media to be digitally based to attract the literacy interest of students. Through engaging learning media, the literacy movement can be successful. The method used is digitizing conventional learning media and introducing innovative new learning media to enhance reading interest in students. Based on these considerations, training on creating digital-based learning media is necessary as an innovative effort in preparing effective learning media with the goal of improving the literacy skills of elementary school students. The training, followed by mentoring, will be conducted over a three-month period, from February to April 2023, involving 36 teacher participants. The outcomes of this training and mentoring, students interest in elementary schools in Cilengkrang District has increased because learning media is no longer conventional and digital based. This increase was achieved after teachers attended training and were able to create and apply digital-based learning media in the classroom.
