What Literacy is to Me

Literacy opens up the doors to knowledge! It is one of the most important concepts we will encounter in our lifetime. Without the ability to read, we would be lost in the world and would not be able to succeed in life.

Like mathematics, reading and the concept of literacy is everywhere. It is almost impossible to walk out your front door in the morning and not see at least one form of literacy at work. Our cars, streets, businesses, schools, phones, and even the media all use examples of literacy. This form of language allows us to communicate and share our ideas with others in a non-verbal setting. When we are able to communicate with each other, our world doesn't seem to as large as we think it is.

Technology helps bring us closer together as a global community. The technology we use every day, (such as our smartphones, tablets, and the Internet), works hand-in-hand with the concept of literacy. As technology changes, so does literacy. There are hundreds of interactive educational games and apps on the market that are both fun and helpful in building important literacy skills. Thousands of online and printed resources are also available for anyone to use. The future of tomorrow's literacy begins today!
