Literacy Year 10 Reflection)

                           
                                      Why Literacy is Important!!!


Literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to read and write. Nowadays, ‘reading’ encompasses complex visual and digital media as well as printed material. An elderly person who can read the newspaper might struggle to get information from Google.

Similarly, different cultures will have different perceptions of literacy. Students need literacy to engage with the written word in everyday life.

This term(term 3) I am working on my year 10PDv/TBSM1 students literacy. I am very focused on their reading and writing ability; I always try to give them content to write and read in the class. I have used some research work on different topics such as geosphere, Fossil fuels and DNA. I am concerned about their writing and reading ability. I am trying to enhance their literacy so that they can do good in their NCEA Level 1. For this, I have adapted some ways: 

Encourage reading: Reading is the first pillar of literacy, so encourage young learners to immerse themselves in it frequently and intensely. 

Discuss texts together: Actively discussing what has been read encourages learners to make connections and think deeply about the ideas contained in books. 

Make use of the library: Immersing children in a vast range of texts encourage them to dive in and explore. There’s no better place to do this than the school or community library.
