Students' literacy interest is an important aspect in Indonesian language learning because it influences their ability to understand and process information. However, in practice, students' literacy interest in junior high schools is still relatively low, requiring teachers to play an active role in improving student literacy. This study aims to describe the strategies and obstacles faced by Indonesian language teachers in improving students' literacy interest at SMPN 1 Lubuk Batu Jaya. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation involving five Indonesian language teachers as informants. Data analysis techniques were carried out descriptively qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that teachers implemented various strategies, including reading habits, the use of contextual texts, reading-based discussions, the use of digital media, and giving literacy assignments. The obstacles faced included low student motivation, limited literacy resources, differences in students' reading abilities, and lack of family support. This study concluded that teachers' strategies have been implemented in a variety of ways, but still require support from various parties so that increasing students' literacy interest can run optimally and sustainably.
