Why is literacy important?
Literacy ensures students learn to communicate successfully and become engaged, global citizens of the future. It allows students to find and learn in-depth information about a wide range of subjects and gain a better understanding of the world around them. Literacy is important for all subjects, not just language. Throughout their schooling, students will need to use literacy skills to understand and solve math or science problems. They will also need literacy to develop logical thinking skills to organize their thoughts in writing.
