The Education Era 4.0 has demanded students' to improve
their literacy skills, especially elementary school Students'.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness
of the use of the Youtube application as a learning medium
to improve children's literacy skills. Unfortunately, until now
there has been no research that discusses the Effectiveness
of Using Youtube Applications as Learning Media to Increase
the Reading and Writing Interests of Elementary School
Students'. The research method used is a qualitative
descriptive approach which is carried out through field
research and interviews. In addition, we also conducted a
literature study related to previous relevant research
studies. Based on the results of the study, there was an
increase in student learning outcomes by using Youtube as a
learning medium. This shows that the presentation of
creative learning materials can stimulate Students' interest
and motivation which will have an impact on increasing
Students' literacy skills. It can be concluded that the Youtube
application has proven to be effective in presenting
interesting learning videos so that it can increase the interest
and literacy skills of elementary school Students'. This
literacy and literacy ability will later be very useful for
elementary school students' as a provision to support
Students' in the 4.0 Education Era for a better future.
