Abstract
Issues that related to literacy are one of the focuses highlighted by government in Indonesia currently. This is motivated by the low literacy skills of students in Indonesia based on Indonesia PISA^s score in 2018. Based on the research of the Indonesia^s Ministry of Education and Culture which describes the index of reading literacy activity for each province in Indonesia 2019. That research examines the literacy index based on four dimensions, namely the dimension of access, proficiency, alternatives, and culture. Based on that research, this research aimed to analyze the dimensions that provide the strongest significance of the four dimensions to the reading literacy activity index. The mathematical model that is used in this research is multiple linear regression with Generalized Linear Model (GLM). In this research, the response variable is the reading literacy activities index, while the predictor variables are dimension of access, proficiency, alternatives, and culture. Based on this research, it was found that the access dimension had the most significant effect on the reading literacy activity index with coefficient β-=0.36018. Therefore, the access dimension which is the availability of literacy resources needs to be improved.
