ABSTRACT
All children have their right to go to school and learn regardless of who they are. Having an education helps people to access all of their other human rights. Therefore, Ministry of Education in Malaysia made early childhood education compulsory. Literacy development has contributed to the knowledge in early childhood education. In the age of digital technology, 21st century learning is an era of change and innovation in education. Rural preschools in Malaysia have shown their dedication to make 21st century learning a prime medium in increasing literacy. The use of multimedia during preschool children's learning sessions is more interactive by relying on the integration of various media including audio, video, graphics and others to enhance children's language development. This research objective is to find out the level of readiness of pre-school teachers in the development of early childhood literacy based on 21st century learning. The questionnaire has been distributed to 30 samples of respondents in third grade rural primary school teachers in Kapit District, Sarawak was selected randomly. The findings of this study showed that teachers in rural areas are ready to apply the multimedia in teaching literacy. Hence, it is hoped that the findings of this study will assist certain parties, especially the Malaysian Ministry of Education to conduct special training in order to solve the problems that occur in rural primary schools.
