Welcome to day two of Carol Boles’ 6-day NWFCC March Specialist Showcase tour.
Join me in welcoming Carol Boles, Literacy Specialist today when she provides a glimpse into the world of literacy.
Children in the 21st Century:
-Need to be competent readers, in order to be successful in school and adult life,
-Can learn to read, when provided instruction in phonics, practice reading daily and taught with a variety of teaching materials.

I believe that authors should associate themselves with charities as part of their marketing campaign and literacy is obviously a perfect choice for writers! Thanks for this!

Great points! The importance of learning to read well cannot be overestimated. It sets the course for success in so many things to come. By contrast, those who struggle with reading end up missing out on a lot and end up struggling with many other things in life.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Carol!
Literacy is SO important!! I wish more people would take it seriously.
ReplyDeleteThis is so important -- especially using a variety of techniques to teach a child to read. Not everyone learns the same way.
