What is Language and Literacy?
Literacy Definition: The ability to read and write. The ability to use language proficiently.
Language and Literacy is important to everyone. It is how we communicate ideas to one another. If a student has difficulty understanding or expressing ideas they will have a difficult time learning. This is why Language and Literacy needs to be especially stressed during the early years. If a student can't understand the message being delivered then they will struggle in not just the language arts, but all subjects.
