LITERACY & READING SECTION ACTION PLAN and RESOURCE REQUEST FORM 2017 - 2018

Literacy matters!
I can read, therefore I am.

I can:

  • be smart and become smarter;
  • communicate with others in many different ways;
  • solve problems, understand and connect with new challenges;
  • participate fully in family, workplace and community life;
  • use a range of technologies;
  • think for myself and with others;
  • keep my culture alive;
  • share with others on a global stage;
  • be creative and understand the complexities of our changing world.
I have the world and beyond at my feet.
I can read, therefore I am empowered and can learn lifelong.

I can read, therefore I am part of the present and the future.

I can read, therefore I am,

Because …….. LITERACY MATTERS!

                                                                         1
