What is Literacy? |
According to the Florida Department of Education, literacy involves the integration of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and critical thinking in order “to use language to communicate and interpret the knowledge and ideas of others, as well as our own”. In the 21st century, literacy has expanded to include the ability to understand and use technology. The future requires students to improve their literacy abilities to invent, design, create, compute, and communicate so that they can make critical judgments, identify and solve real-world problems, and become productive citizens who lead rewarding lives. |
