Classroom observation and interview were conducted to collect the data from Bali Kiddy School. There were 2 teachers who gave their consent to be involved in this study. The data were analyzed descriptively. These phases include categorizing the data, presenting the findings, and evaluating and validating the data. The finding reveals that the schools have some strategies to engage students to read non-subject books, write reading response journal, do spelling and writing activities.
