Abstrak

. This study aims to improve students’ critical reading skills through the integration of digital literacy in Bahasa Indonesia learning for Grade V students of MI Lebak Mulya Muara Burnai I, Lempuing Jaya, Ogan Komering Ilir, South Sumatera. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected from classroom observations, critical reading assessments, field notes, and documentation of students’ activities while interacting with digital texts such as online articles, educational videos, and infographics. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ critical reading abilities after the implementation of digital literacy-based learning. Initially, students were only able to understand information superficially and struggled to identify main ideas. However, after engaging in digital literacy-integrated activities, they became more capable of identifying key ideas, evaluating source credibility, and providing logical justifications supported by textual evidence. Students also showed higher motivation and more active participation during learning activities. The use of digital media helped students comprehend complex information more easily and engagingly. The study concludes that integrating digital literacy has a positive impact on enhancing students’ critical reading skills and is recommended as an effective instructional strategy to strengthen digital literacy at the elementary school level.
