Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of describing the views of parents on children's literacy abilities before entering elementary education. Parents are worried about their children's ability to keep up with school, especially when preparing them to start elementary school (SD). This concern is reflected from various perspectives in society. To change this perspective, support from the government is needed, such as changing the requirements for admitting new students to elementary schools. Thus, it is expected to reduce misunderstandings and high expectations from parents for their children's learning achievements.
