In Indonesia, GLS has been implemented at various levels of education, including at Junior High School (SMP).

The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of the literacy movement to instill interest in reading in students at Wee Rame Christian Middle School. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research method consisting of 1) pre-field stage in the form of licensing and preparing instruments for data collection 2) field work stage in the form of observing the literacy movement in schools by distributing questionnaires and interviews, 3) and data analysis stage.
