KONTRIBUSI POSITIF ORANG TUA DAN ANGGOTA KELUARGA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN LITERASI ANAK USIA DINI DI RUMAH
Abstract
Home-based literacy, which includes educational activities at home with a focus on literacy learning, is a significant predictor of early childhood development and learning outcomes. Objective: This study aims to examine in depth the positive contributions of parents and family members in improving children's literacy at home through a systematic review of the literature. Method: This study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with PRISMA stages, reviewing ten relevant articles published between 2016-2025. Research Results: The review results indicate that the role of parents is very significant in the framework of home learning, including activities such as reading books, reading stories, and providing feedback to teachers regarding children's understanding achievements. Increasing the frequency and duration of reading time with parents directly and positively affects children's literacy, motivation, and writing skills, and can even reduce educational disparities. Conclusion: The positive contributions of parents and family members are very important for children's literacy at home, although its success is influenced by factors such as parental education level and income, which can be addressed through collaboration in providing free book access.
