Literacy is the ability to use language and images in rich and varies forms to read, write, listen, speak, view, represent, and think critically about ideas. It enables us to share information, to interact with others, and to make meaning. It is a complex process that involves building on prior knowledge, culture, and experiences in order to develop new knowledge and deeper understanding. It connects individuals and communities, and is an essential tool for personal growth and active participation in a democratic society. This book calls on educators to continue building on the foundations for literacy that are laid in a child’s early years, and to prepare each child for more advanced and applied literacy learning in later grades and in life. It offers a vision that all educators across the world can use to promote a whole board approach to literacy instruction. It also serves as a resource for parents and communities to use in building the strong home-school-community partnerships that are essential for literacy learning and overall student achievement.
