Cultivating & Integrating Literacy Across the Curriculum

Literacy and its cultivation is the key to education in the 21st Century. We say that THOSE WHO READ, SUCCEED and that has never been more important than it is today. From the earliest grades, we need to encourage literacy which today means more than just being able to read and write. It means being able to understand and apply what we read to our own lives and the world around us. We live in an increasingly global, technologically driven world and our young people need to be able to make sense of that world through all variety of reading, online and off. I hope to contribute to your successful literacy program and to the advancement of literacy not just in the classroom but out of it as well, in the homes of our students. Therefore, there will the oral reading of books for children to listen to and think about. There will be ideas for how parents and teachers can use the books I read as well as many other, to advance knowledge of the world. Plus there will be ideas on how to enrich your literacy program and help your students indeed make applicable, those who read, will succeed.
