Abstract

In advancing children’s literacy proficiency balanced literacy platform has a central role. A number of empiricalstudies exploring literacy programsamong school-age children have been administered in rural areas and/or low socio-economic groups of people. However, most of them are conducted under school setting. Explorations on the practices of literacy outside of the school setting are hardly found. In Indonesian setting, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, there has been only one investigationreporting on how literacy is encouraged in public library circles. To respond to this scarcity, the current study collected data from Taman Baca Masyarakat(Community Reading Gardens, henceforth, CRGs) in Surabaya, Indonesia. Responses from 292 female and 103 male teacher librarians collected from an online questionnaire were analyzed. The results of data analysis in Phase 1 describing the educational background and work experience of the CRG staff as well as their familiarity with the concept of Balanced Literacy become the basis of the implementation of the simplified Balanced Literacy Training in Phase 2.
