This paper explores reading literacy by using folklore to develop and nurture a good attitude in elementary school students. The study utilises a research and development model. The research was followed by the development and dissemination of a product development model, R2D2 (recursive, reflective design, and development). The populations were elementary school students in Padang City and Pariaman City. A questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect the data. The folklore stories used were contained in teaching materials. Today, many countries are supposed to improve the literacy skills and good character of their people and society. Globalisation has made some effects multidimensional, especially attitude. Therefore, we must solve this problem. The paper outlines how new materials can improve good attitudes and characters. The results were obtained via a questionnaire for expert review, with teachers and students stating the category of 'very valid'. The books could improve a good attitude in elementary school students. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
