LITERACY
Literacy is the powerful ability to communicate.
We often define literacy as the ability to read, write, speak, and think critically.
We call these the four modes of communication or literacy.
At the Kennedy-Longfellow, we value providing students diverse opportunities to sharpen their literacy skills.
Please utilize these resources to support your child’s literacy development.
