Literacy

Font Size: A+ A- Reset

Literacy is the key that unlocks opportunity in school, work, and everyday life. It is the foundation for learning across all subject areas and supports the transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Literacy develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling people to understand information, make connections, and communicate effectively. Strong literacy also supports health and well-being by building confidence and independence to make informed decisions and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
