The data collection techniques are carried out by observation, and documentation. The data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and data verification. The test of validity data using technical triangulation. The results showed that the coverage of the implementation of the literacy model was 100%, the numeracy literacy model was 100%, the scientific literacy model was 50%, the digital literacy model was 64.10%, the financial literacy model was 41.02%, and the civics cultural literacy model was 100%. The conclusion in this study is that the basic literacy movement in elementary schools is carried out with several activities including literacy, numeracy, science, finance, digital, and culture.
