The purpose of this research is to improve or optimize student literacy, especially in reading literacy in elementary schools. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The data collection techniques were observation and interview. The results showed that digital comics can improve student literacy in elementary schools. This can be seen based on the results of interviews and observations conducted with teachers and students who stated that digital comic media really attracted students' attention in reading literacy. Students' understanding of reading material becomes more optimal with the combination of digital-based comics.
