his book highlights the importance of reading instruction that is not mechanical and detached from the reality of students. Instead, learning should be designed to be relevant to the daily lives of students, facilitate deep understanding of texts, and create an enjoyable learning environment. One effective approach to achieve this is through project- based learning. Through projects, students are actively involved in the learning process, from exploring contextual themes and collaborating to understand readings, to creating final products that reflect their understanding. With this approach, reading activities become not only academic tasks, but meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences. This book offers concepts, strategies, and examples of implementing reading instruction integrated with projects, along with practical guidelines that can be adapted by educators at various levels. It is hoped that this book can serve as both inspiration and reference in realizing transformative reading learning oriented towards the formation of lifelong learners.
