. This study aims to enhance the literary appreciation of fifth-grade students at MI Lebak Mulya Muara Burnai I Lempuing Jaya through the implementation of regional story–based literature learning. The study was motivated by the low ability of students to understand intrinsic elements of stories and interpret moral values within literary texts. This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles that included planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literary appreciation tests. The results indicate a significant improvement in student engagement, comprehension of story structure, and ability to interpret moral messages after the implementation of regional stories in literature learning. In the first cycle, students began to show increased interest and were able to identify characters and plot more accurately, although their ability to interpret moral values was still limited. In the second cycle, students demonstrated deeper understanding and higher analytical skills through activities such as role-playing, retelling stories, and creating summaries. Additionally, students’ attitudes toward literature learning became more positive as the activities were perceived as enjoyable and meaningful. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that regional story–based literature learning is effective in fostering students’ literary appreciation, strengthening their understanding of local cultural values, and increasing their motivation to learn literature.
