The Effect of Early Numerical Literacy on Early Childhood Cognitive Development

“…The results of other studies which state that Early childhood cognitive and language abilities can be developed through the introduction of basic literacy concepts such as the introduction of the concepts of reading, writing and arithmetic, with the aim that children can easily accept more complex concepts at the next level of school (Wahyuni, 2022). This finding is also reinforced by research which states that in the introduction of early numeracy literacy students are directly involved in identifying images, cutting and pasting them which are related to cognitive, social emotional and language abilities which include child development (Ratnasari, 2020). Based on this research, it is understood that the more positive the initial numeracy literacy in children, the higher the level of achievement of cognitive development.…”

“…The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) explained that literacy is a set of real skills, literacy skills are the right of everyone and are the basis for lifelong learning (Ratnasari, 2020). Early literacy and numeracy are two skills that develop from an early age and become important factors in determining academic success later in life (Wahyuni et al 2022).…”

Traditional children's literature functions as a form of character and identity, giving rise to cultural independence, complete initiative, and creative attitudes in students (Supartinah, 2013).…”

“…Various previous studies show the positive value that needs to be maintained from traditional literature, especially for children, so that its value content remains preserved. Future generations do not get bored of watching monotonous performances; they must be packaged using technology (Ratnasari, 2020;Salsabila & Agustian, 2021;Putra, 2021). However, studies on converting traditional literature within the scope of Minangkabau culture, especially for the world of education, have yet to be carried out.…”
