1 INTRODUCTION
Interest or willingness to read is a very important
source of motivation and strong for someone to
analysis and remember (Sunyowati et al. 2022), and
evaluate the texts have been read because the person
is reading a book is because he wants to read the
book from the heart (Subagyono et al. 2022), which
is an exciting learning experience. It is a process of
self-development has a major role in people's lives
because by reading, the ability to think people will
be more refined and evolved, science will increase
and improve the quality of human resources,
especially in this globalization era. Therefore,
reading becomes a human need to be able to face
competition from other nations of the world and
therefore must always be honed willpower,
developed, and explored because of reading is not
obtained from birth free of charge. Interest in
reading very big influence on the quality of
education. There are several factors that affect low
reading is external factors and internal factors.
Internal factors are factors that come from inside a
person, such as the willingness and habit. While
external factors are factors outside oneself or
environmental factors, both in the family,
neighbours, and the school environment. Add more
their internet presence that is two eyes sword, could
allow someone to read because it is so vast and full
internet or otherwise, which facilitates internet
presence and access everything easily and quickly
even lead one further away from the world of
literature (Anna & Harisanty, 2019).
In Indonesia, the public interest at this time is
still alarming, seen from various studies conducted
in Indonesia (Romadhona, Subagyono, et al. 2022).
International Education Achievement (IEA) reported
that the reading ability of primary school students in
Indonesia are on the order of 38 of the 39 countries
of the study participants. In the survey The Political

in Singapore, at the end of 2001 put Indonesia in the
order of 12 of the 12 countries in Asia were
examined on the interest in reading. Based on data
from UNESCO in 2012, the index reading interest in
Indonesia reached 0,001. So, every 1,000 people
there is only one person who has interest in reading.
The data illustrate how low the public interest in
Indonesia (Romadhona, Kurniawan, et al. 2022).
Factors that affect interest in reading is
influenced by personal factors two groups namely
class and group of institutional factors (Hernoko et
al. 2022). Namely Personal factors are factors that
come from within the child's covers: age, sex,
intelligence, the ability to read, attitudes,
psychological needs, and Factor institutional: factors
that originate from outside the individual, include: 1)
the availability of books, 2) socio-economic status,
3) the influence of parents, peers and teachers
(Romadhona, Wati, et al. 2022).
Millennial generation as the nation's future, is
expected can prepare to face various problems in life
including social problems, both of which occur in
the future the globalization era. Need for strategies
to foster interest in reading (Lin, 2001).
Foster interest in reading the millennial
generation takes a long time because it requires a
process of forming a person's interest in reading and
changing the paradigm of the Indonesian people to
begin to assume that reading is very important. So,
very unfortunate because the least enthusiasm for
reading and prefer to use other media to find
information. This causes adverse implications for the
quality of education in Indonesia. In fact, reading is
the key person to success in the future.

Layout, layout and existing library condition and can
be made as comfortable as possible as a special
attraction for visitors. A total of 50.0% of
respondents thought so and 10.0% others have
another way to increase interest in reading.
From the various opinions above it can be
concluded that the definition of interest is a sense
that prefer or sense of interest in an activity that
demonstrated an appetite, a tendency to regard such
activities without anyone telling, performed by self-
awareness and is followed by feelings were happy.
Interest is the source of one's motivation. So, the
interest was huge influence on the activities carried
out by someone. Even activities that interest the
student would do it gladly. Thus, interest in reading
is accompanied by a strong desire someone attempts
to read. Someone who has a strong interest in
reading would accomplishment in his willingness to
receive reading materials and then read them on
their own consciousness or encouragement from
outside.
Interest in reading seems to be present on
common interests and personality dimensions. Based
on the findings, it appears that in order to expand the
students' interest in reading need to increase the
intrinsic motivation to read, Interest is more like
taste and interest in an activity, without being told.
When they see something that has meaning for him,
then they would be interested in something that in
the end will lead to satisfaction for him.
According to the research results (Lorenz, 2013)
stated that although the motivation of improving the
student's ability to learn from the text, especially in
the context of a real classroom is important because
the process involves reading motivational text
comprehension of children in the natural classroom
learning environment. This is one factor encouraging
interest in reading in children is to improve the
understanding of a reading.
Results of the study (Lamey, 1983) showed that
scores high understanding or knowledge of a
person's previous larger about the topic can be
obtained only from a high interest rather than the
topic with low reading interest. This is one factor
driving the interest in reading is to get an
understanding about something. With so to increase
public interest cannot be charged to the family, the
public, or any educational institution. From the
observations the authors obtained information that
the factors driving interest in reading in children can
cause by a factor of (internal) and external factors
(institutional factors) such as aspects of family,
community, and educational institutions have an
important role in increasing public interest in
reading. From the results of the research found that
most respondents have interest in reading because of
the variety of books available and in accordance
with their preferences. The availability of books in
the family is one of the driving factors for the choice
of reading materials and reading interest. Variety
readings were adequate and diverse family will
greatly help in improving the child's interest in
reading. Interest in reading is influenced by personal
factors two groups namely class and group of
institutional factors. Personal factors such as the
need meaningful reading activities and reading
habits are considered successful or beneficial if
students gain satisfaction and to meet their basic
needs, namely security, status, a certain position,
effective satisfaction and freedom in accordance
with the reality and the level of development. If the
reading is considered beneficial for someone,
reading is an activity which is regarded as one of the
necessities of life. Examples of institutional factor is
the availability of books. A person or student can
find their basic needs through reading materials if
the topic, content, subject, level of difficulty, and the
way they are presented in accordance with their
individual reality. The content of the reading
material of interest and in accordance with
individual needs, is one of the factors that affect
interest in reading. A person or student can find their
basic needs through reading materials if the topic,
content, subject, level of difficulty, and the way they
are presented in accordance with their individual
reality. The content of the reading material of

interest and in accordance with individual needs, is
one of the factors that affect interest in reading. Not
only that, friends and the environment is also an
institutional factor that encourage interest in reading
in children. Suggestions classmates as external
factors may spark students' interest. Association of
friends in school became one of the important
factor’s performance formation of interest. People
who are interested in reading, will more often invites
his friends participate in conducting reading
activities both in the classroom or library to provide
a positive influence also against his friend.

Not quite up to here, the role of parents is
needed, we can get the children familiar with the
book and become familiar with them early on.
Parents can encourage good reading skills by
providing experience and a chance to read through
positive attitudes using literacy strategy (Loving,
2010). Can start by reading his favorite book and
read it over and over again, let the children
understand the contents of the books he read and not
just read but also understood the contents of the
book. While Means books in the family environment
is one factor driving the interest in reading, if from
childhood child is familiarized with the book, then
the adult child to be familiar with reading material.
Our job as parents is to accompany children to read
by example at home.
In addition to factors already mentioned above,
the results of research respondents mentioned that
aspect of it needs to be done simultaneously.
Teachers and librarians play an important role in
improving the reading interest in reading for
students and the community. To play an increasing
interest in reading, teachers and librarians must have
a high interest. Modeling should be given to society.
If teachers and librarians do not have a high interest,
it is impossible to carry out their duties in promoting
interest in reading. Librarian proactive role about
efforts to foster public interest in reading early on,
was mainly carried out by librarians who work in
libraries that serve children. The librarian should be
able to teach, guide, and provide an example to
children.
The results of the study authors in accordance
with the results of (Ma, 2011) That interest is a kind
of special learning motivation and the strength of
independent reading pleasure that can produce
psychological tendencies and improve autonomous
learning ability and overall quality of children's
development. Various factors affect the interests of
early reading and understanding the factors that can
provide scientific advice to foster children's interest
in reading. It concluded that the influential factors of
interest in early reading is as follows: 1. Atmosphere
reading family. Including the concept of reading the
reading behavior of parents and family members. 2.
The teacher teaching strategies. That call to read in
everyday life, adopt a different strategy that guides
