Why is literacy important? Learners need literacy in order to engage with the written word in everyday life… Being able to read and write means being able to keep up with current events, communicate effectively, and understand the issues that are shaping our world.
Family literary connections: Whether you are using a book at home, a journal, letter, or a diary that is in your home, or you have access to IL’s online EPIC for investigations… today’s literary connection is about each family member creating a personal journal entry (notebook paper or journal) after having a family discussion about an event that happened while they were growing up (use the slide above for the discussion questions).
