The next activity of Aksara day was grouped based on lower and upper grades. The lower grades were from 1 to 3, while the upper was for grades 4 to 6. In Lower grades, an activity of Aksara day begins with reading a storybook. Students will rewrite the story’s summary, title, author, and moral value. Meanwhile, Aksara day activities for Upper grades were reading books, composing, and reading poetry with the theme of International Literacy Day. Finally, all students’ creations from the Aksara activity will collect to become a scrapbook.
