SYNERGY OF FAMILY, SCHOOL, AND COMMUNITY IN BUILDING A LITERACY CULTURE IN LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

Literacy culture is a fundamental foundation for improving the quality of education and human resource development in the digital era. Literacy is no longer limited to reading and writing skills, but also includes the ability to understand, analyze, evaluate, and use information critically in everyday life. This study aims to analyze the roles of family, school, and community in building a literacy culture in learning and to formulate collaborative strategies to strengthen a sustainable literacy ecosystem. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method by examining relevant scholarly sources on literacy culture, family education, school literacy movements, community literacy, and literacy policy. The findings show that the family serves as the initial foundation for developing literacy habits through role modeling, the provision of reading materials, learning assistance, and early reading habituation. Schools function as formal institutions that integrate literacy into the curriculum, learning programs, libraries, and the use of digital technology. Meanwhile, the community acts as a supporting social environment through community reading centers, literacy communities, social literacy activities, and the preservation of local cultural values. The synergy among these three elements is the main key to building a strong, adaptive, and sustainable literacy culture. This study recommends strengthening collaboration among families, schools, communities, and the government through integrated literacy programs based on character education and digital technology. The article is developed from the uploaded manuscript on building literacy culture through family, school, and community involvement.
