Abstract

Discussing reading interest is not limited on the provision of literacy movements at school as reading interest is developed through habituation process since childhood. Therefore, the most effective habituation is started at home. Not many parents realize that parenting duty is to take care of children’s “learning nature”. Parents understand that having reading habit is better than just being able to read. However, not many of them understand how parents can have a role to grow the habit. Based on the phenomenon experienced by the parents, this research aims at finding the forms of parents’ involvement in cultivating children’s reading interests. The respondents are 521 parents with 5 to 9 year-old children live in Yogyakarta and Central Java. The characteristics of the respondents are parents which have a fairly average distribution in terms of education from elementary to undergraduate and 71% of the characteristics are working parent. Therefore, to reveal the meaning of the occurrence, this exploratory research with inductive approach was done to obtain information to be conceptually mapped. The instruments were made by researchers from the literature review and the validity had been tested. Descriptive data analysis technique was used to describe the forms of parents’ roles in cultivating reading interest. The respondents’ characteristics are as follows: on education category, 2.1% parents are elementary school educated, 5.93% are junior high school educated, 36,01% are high school/vocational school educated, 11.59% have associate’s degree, 36.59% are bachelors. Based on parents’ job category, there are 71% of parents work and 28.74% of parents do not work. Based on children’s age category, there are 14% of the children are 5 years old, 38.52% are 6-7 years old, 33,72% are 7-8 years old, and 13,02% are 9 years old. An online questionnaire in the form of Google Microsoft was used to facilitate the data collection.
