This research aims to analyze the design of Indonesian language learning texts in elementary schools. The background of this research is based on the importance of learning texts as the main means of developing students' literacy skills, as well as the still-existing various issues such as overly complex texts, lack of contextual relevance, difficult language use, and lack of appeal. This research uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. Data were obtained from various relevant scientific literature sources, such as books, journal articles, and official documents published in the last ten years. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation studies, while data analysis used content analysis. The research results show that the design of learning texts must pay attention to six main principles, namely alignment with student characteristics, content integration, language clarity, contextuality, attractiveness, and literacy orientation. In addition, several issues were found that could hinder the learning process. Therefore, a systematic design process is needed, including needs analysis, text type determination, content organization, language development, and evaluation. Thus, proper text design can enhance the quality of Indonesian language learning and the literacy skills of elementary school students.
