What she has achieved is the fruit of hard efforts so far. And of course this is also a gift of Allah SWT and guidance from parents and teachers to be thankful for.

9th grader from SMP Negeri 1 Mempura, Prov. Riau tells the beginning of participating in the selection competition via online. He was told to change the statement sent into questions.

The girl who loves playing basketball and likes to eat fried chicken was then told to choose the title of rhyme through drawing lots, which will be asked to other pantun finalists.

"It doesn't feel like I can get into the top 10, and the next day we are told to make rhymes with 5 titles, namely about health, economy, education, culture, and technology," said the girl, a couple from Zulfen Effendi and Jamaliah.

Then she continued, all were made in 5 questions and 5 statements and given to the jury. Then the participants were told to pull out the lottery title again and read the rhymes that had been made earlier.

Finally on the closing night it was announced the participants who won in 5 fields of competition, namely the Contest Competition, Creating Poetry, Creating Short Stories, Writing Essays and Story Telling.

"Alhamdulillah, my name was first mentioned, Champion 1 for the Pendant branch. Certainly proud to be able to compete with all of my fellow students in Indonesia," said the girl from Benteng Hilir.

Met after the Anniversary Ceremony of Siak Regency Rasidah Alfedri, as the Literacy Mother of Siak Regency, congratulated on the achievements of the Siak Regency children, especially Novi Zulia Fitri, who won 1st place in the category of Pantun at the 2019 School Literacy Festival (FLS) at the national junior high school.

"Congratulations to Novi, can bring up the name of Siak Regency. Keep learning, hopefully you will be able to achieve its goals," said the wife of Siak Regent.

He hopes that the millennial generation born in technology will make literacy one of the important things. In addition to the existence of good literacy education, the younger generation is not complacent about the ease of technology.

She added, reading and literacy culture could be a solution in shaping the character of the nation's best young generation. What's more, today's technological onslaught cannot be ignored, because it has made children more interested in playing gadgets than reading and writing books.
