What is Literacy?
When we talk about literacy, we don’t just mean reading books—literacy is so much more!
Literacy is about helping children understand the world around them and express their ideas clearly. That includes:
Reading and Writing: Understanding stories, information, and being able to write and share thoughts.
Math Literacy: Making sense of numbers, patterns, and solving real-life problems with math.
Science Literacy: Asking questions, exploring how things work, and thinking like a scientist.
Literacy is really about learning new things and then communicating what you’ve learned—whether it’s through words, numbers, pictures, or even experiments. When students build strong literacy skills, they become confident thinkers, problem-solvers, and communicators across all areas of learning.
