Literacy


"Effective language and literacy instruction is grounded in scientific evidence and is student-centred and asset-based. It builds on students’ lived experiences, strengths, passions, interests, and language and cultural resources. It aims to build strong foundational skills while working to develop habits of mind such as curiosity, flexibility, and open-mindedness; a willingness to question and think critically; and an awareness of the value of literacy.
