Gerakan Sadar Literasi Sejak Dini

Abstract

Early childhood literacy skills are the main foundation in the formation of Indonesia's golden generation. Unfortunately, many parents still do not realize the importance of their involvement in forming a culture of literacy from an early age in the home environment. Responding to this challenge, a team of lecturers and students from the Speech Therapy Study Program conducted a community service activity with the theme "Early Literacy Awareness Movement" at Bibis Luhur Christian Kindergarten. This activity involved three lecturers and two students, targeting kindergarten teachers and parents. The activity began with a field exploration on July 7, 2025, and continued with counseling on July 22, 2025. The series of activities included the distribution of pre-tests, the presentation of educational materials on the importance of literacy at home, and the distribution of post-tests to measure participants' understanding. The results of the activity showed an increase in parents' understanding of their role in supporting children's literacy activities at home. This was evident in the comparison of pre-test and post-test scores, which showed a significant increase. This activity is expected to be the first step in building collaboration between schools and families in cultivating a culture of literacy from an early age.
