Parent Resources
Access to literacy resources can prove to be an invaluable asset for parents and caregivers, equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively nurture their child's reading skills and stay updated on their growth and advancement.
What Is Literacy?
Literacy is the ability to read, write, and communicate effectively in various forms, including spoken, written, and visual languages. It encompasses not only the technical skills of reading and writing, but also the ability to understand and interpret written texts, to communicate thoughts and ideas clearly, and to use language to navigate and make sense of the world.
Literacy at Home!
Literacy at home is a crucial aspect of a child's educational journey, laying the foundation for their language and literacy skills. When parents and caregivers engage in literacy activities with their children, such as reading together, singing songs, and discussing books, they can foster a love for reading and learning. This can also help build vocabulary, comprehension, and communication skills. Ultimately, leading to better academic performance and a stronger connection to education.
