Abstract

This article aims to identify on the content validity of Early Literacy Skills Indicators (IKLA) to assess early literacy skills of children ages 3+ to 4+ year. The researchers conducted a descriptive survey of 21 educators to gain content validity of IKLA. The researchers has distributed the IKLA Content Validation Questionnaire (Educator) with 55 items in total, and a full copy of IKLA to each educator containing several media, namely; (i) IKLA Guidebook; (ii) “Ta Ta Rumah” storybook; (iii) Child Scores Record Form; and (iv) IKLA Microsoft Excel. Each educator is responsible for assessing the usefulness of IKLA, and the content of all IKLA media in evaluating early literacy skills of children. Research indicated that the content validity of IKLA was high, including IKLA usability, IKLA Guidebook, "Ta Ta Rumah" storybook, Child Score Record Form, and IKLA Microsoft Excel. This means that IKLA had good content validity in evaluating early literacy skills of children. Thus, IKLA can be used by educators to evaluate early literacy skills of children ages 3+ to 4+ years.
