Abstract

A reading workshop is an instructional approach that positions students at the center of literacy activities through mini lessons, independent or partner reading, and reflective sharing. While widely implemented in English-speaking countries, its application in diverse contexts such as Indonesia remains limited. This study conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of articles published between 2015–2024, focusing on reading workshops in elementary and middle school settings. Inclusion criteria covered studies addressing reading motivation, comprehension, literacy strategies, teacher training, student engagement, technology use, and curriculum integration. The findings reveal that reading workshops enhance students’ motivation and comprehension, particularly when multimodal texts are integrated to match learners’ digital habits. Cultural contexts and learner needs—such as vocabulary limitations, varied proficiency, and digital access—emerged as key factors shaping outcomes. Teacher preparedness also proved essential, with challenges in aligning workshops to standardized curricula and sustaining professional development. This study concludes that reading workshops hold strong potential to strengthen literacy when adapted to cultural settings and learner diversity. Future research is recommended to examine comparative effectiveness in non-Western contexts, longitudinal impacts on motivation, professional development models for teachers, and equity issues for learners with limited resources.
