Abstract: Literacy culture and character are important for students as an asset for concept understanding and critical thinking. This qualitative research was aimed to describe the literacy culture and character education for high-level thinking students in state elementary school Kleco 1 Surakarta. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis used an interactive model. The results of the study show that the implementation of the learning emphasized literacy culture (literacy, digital, and technology) by integrating the values of religiosity, tolerance, discipline, high curiosity, and hard work. There were obstacles in the process including social/economic disparity, limited infrastructure, and limited allotted time. The teacher's efforts in coping with the problems included 1) providing a literacy corner, 2) developing the potential and personality of the students, and 3) instilling the good values in life.
