A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings demonstrate that student-centered learning strategies, including group discussions, contextual learning, instructional media utilization, and interactive question-and-answer activities, are effective in enhancing students’ participation, motivation, and comprehension of learning materials. The implementation of a literacy culture through a 15-minute reading program, classroom reading corners, and library utilization also contributed to enhancing students' reading skills, critical thinking, and communication abilities. The successful implementation was supported by teachers' creativity, principals' support, and adequate literacy facilities. However, several challenges remained, including low reading interest, limited reading materials, excessive gadget use, and insufficient parental support. Therefore, integrating innovative learning strategies with a sustainable literacy culture can improve the quality of learning and contribute to better educational outcomes in elementary schools.
