Abstract


Low literacy skills among elementary students remain a serious challenge, particularly in underserved coastal communities. This study analyzes the functions of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising (POAC) in a storytelling-based literacy improvement program at State Elementary School 002 Batu Ampar, Batam City. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing participatory observation across 12 sessions, semi-structured interviews with 17 participants (teachers, principal, students, and parents), and documentation analysis. Data analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s interactive model, with triangulation ensuring trustworthiness. Findings indicate that planning involved needs identification, scheduling of 12 storytelling sessions, and selection of local folktales. Organizing included teacher role distribution based on individual competencies. Implementation ran effectively through routine storytelling and a humanistic approach. Supervision was conducted through formative and summative evaluation, including daily checklists and weekly reflections. Optimal implementation of all management functions directly improved student literacy: text comprehension (+47.5 percentage points), speaking confidence (+60 percentage points), and vocabulary mastery (+50 percentage points). Additionally, four students won awards at a city-level storytelling competition a first for the school in five years. This study confirms that effective management functions significantly contribute to improving student literacy through storytelling, providing practical implications for schools and policymakers in designing sustainable literacy programs.
