Introductory statements: Literacy across learning

The development of literacy skills plays an important role in all learning.

I develop and extend my literacy skills when I have opportunities to:

• communicate, collaborate and build relationships
• reflect on and again explain my literacy and thinking skills, using feedback to help me improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others
• engage with and create a wide range of texts1 in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT
• develop my understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages
• explore the richness and diversity of language, how it can affect me and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative
• extend and enrich my vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading.
