Indonesian literacy culture still has been in a very worrying condition. The study was aimed to know how often do the upper-level students and their parents practice literacy activities and how the home literacy environment supports the TEYL. This present study was a case study of 4 th , 5 th , and 6 thgrade students at one primary school in Bandung with a qualitative approach. The samples of this study were 53 students of class 4 th , 5 th , 6 th and their parents, and one English teacher at one primary school in Bandung. The data were collected through questionnaires, home visits, classroom observation, and interviews. Based on questionnaires' results, most of the 4 th , 5 th , and 6 thgrade students answers, exactly 31,68% were often practicing literacy activities with their parents. Based on home visits, classroom observations, and interview results, overall students who were familiar with the home literacy environment tended to learn actively, joyfully, and enthusiastically in attending the lesson. Thus, the home literacy environment moderately supports the TEYL.
