Abstract
An important moral quality that should be continuously developed is environmental awareness. Using examples of the practices stated in the literary resources has been proven to influence the quality of environmental awareness in the lives of people who read literature. Since 2016, the Language Development Center under the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, has been actualizing the procurement of literary reading sources to support the primary national literacy movement and the use of these resources as media to transfer good moral-character, including environmental awareness. Ideally, literacy materials that have been proven to effectively encourage good behaviors should be designed and published in multimodal format. The multimodality has potential to strengthen the understanding of primary messages and later influence the practices in actions. This paper uses a thematic and multimodal analysis approach to examine the representation and visualizations of ecological themes in literacy reading materials published from 2016 to 2021.
