In response to the evolving demands of future society, the Ministry of Education, through the 2022 Revised National Curriculum, requires that all subjects incorporate basic digital literacy. This study extracted the basic digital literacy outlined in all subjects of the elementary school curriculum and, based on these elements, proposed the essential components of basic digital skills necessary for elementary students. The proposed content elements are the digital skills required for subject learning before formal subject instruction begins in the 3rd grade. These skills should be systematically taught as prerequisite general education for all students. Otherwise, it may widen the basic digital literacy gap among students and, ultimately, affect the level of academic achievement they are able to attain in their subject learning. It also provides recommendations for effective instructional design. For digital skills literacy education to take root in schools, it is necessary to secure instructional hours for general education, and curriculum and textbook development must be prioritized accordingly.This proposal is expected to provide a meaningful basis for future standards.
