This research is motivated by the challenge of improving the literary literacy skills of elementary school students, which are often considered boring using conventional learning methods. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of digital teaching materials in improving literary literacy skills, as well as the interests and motivations of 5th grade elementary school students in Majalengka Regency, West Java.. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design in two groups: the Experimental Group which used digital teaching materials and the Control Group which used conventional methods. The research sample consisted of 60 grade 5 students, with each group consisting of 30 students. Data collection techniques include literary literacy tests, interest and motivation questionnaires, and classroom observations. Data analysis was done using statistical tests to compare changes in pre-test and post-test scores between the two groups. The research results showed that the use of digital teaching materials significantly improved the literary literacy skills of students in the Experimental Group compared to the Control Group. The average literary literacy score in the Experimental Group increased from 45 to 72, while in the Control Group, it only increased from 43 to 55. Students' interest and motivation also increased more significantly in the Experimental Group. In conclusion, digital teaching materials effectively improve students' literary literacy skills, interest, and motivation. The implication is that teachers and schools are advised to integrate technology into literature learning, and policymakers need to support using digital teaching materials in the national curriculum to improve the quality of education.
