FAMILY LITERACY CULTURE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD

Abstract

The formation of habits in the process of language and reading and writing in early childhood is a process that involves various components in the child's environment and the closest environment for early childhood is the family. Basic language skills which include listening, listening, speaking to convey messages, reading and writing must be adjusted to the stages and tasks of child development because each period that children go through has a different standard measure of achievement levels to then become the basis for children in developing literacy at the next stages and levels of education. . The family plays an important role in this process because parents are the child's first environment in daily socialization so that the child is then able to mingle with the outside world. Families are expected to be able to condition children who are born to cultivate literacy from an early age and continue into adulthood. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. The purpose of this study is how big is the role of parents and what is done in the process of early childhood literacy. The results of the study show that the involvement of parents and families in instilling a culture of literacy for early childhood is very important and as often as possible parents provide positive examples as the main shapers of children's character.
