Strategi Dinas Perpustakaan Dan Kearsipan Kalimantan Selatan Dalam Mempromosikan Emergent Literacy Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Many early childhood educators understand that early childhood must be able to read and write in adult definition. This understanding causes the practice of introducing reading and writing to children as if forced by the method of memorizing letters and using various cards. Educators seem to forget that in the process of acquiring the ability to read and write , children undergo gradual and ongoing experiences in their interactions with characters. This is known as the emergent literacy concept. The task of educators and parents at this time is to provide an environment that is rich in literacy for their children. Libraries also play an important role in promoting the concept of emergent literacy to the community. South Kalimantan Province Dispersip through Kids Library has a superior program in this endeavor. Through qualitative research , the authors inventory various programs run by kids libraries , namely providing a comfortable reading room , providing a variety of colorful games and ornaments , providing APE collections , providing various books for children , providing various programs such as school visits and presenting storytellers , opening services every day including holidays , presenting communicative and friendly librarians , to provide complete supporting facilities such as canteen , mosque , toilet's , and parks. These programs have proven to be able to increase the number of Kids Library visitors to thousands of children per month and make these children feel comfortable spending time in the library.

Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood

“…The concept of early literacy or emergent literacy has been gradually replacing the concept of reading readiness, emergent literacy is used to explain children's knowledge of reading skills and write before they actually learn to read and write words [9].
