Study Notes

Learning to Read

Children start by "reading" objects around them, observing, recognizing, and identifying them, preparing them for reading real objects in books.
Learning to read involves listening, and it's essential to teach children to acknowledge the importance of reading in their personal lives and society.

Literacy and Communication

Literacy is not only about reading and writing but also about communicating effectively in the real world.
It involves comprehensive understanding, listening, and reacting to stories, contributing to the sense of our lives.
Literacy must also consider technology as a communication tool.

Literacy and Language

Literacy is about being able to communicate effectively, and language skills are critical to achieve this.
Language skills give children the ability to explain, inquire, hypothesize, analyze, compare, and deduce.
It impacts reading, writing, and thinking, and it's essential to develop language skills to their fullest potential.

Literature and Literacy

Literature is the art of reading and writing, requiring profound insight into the human condition.
Literacy is the ability to decode text, produce text, and make meaning, with literature being the basis of language learning.

Teaching Literacy

Teaching literacy involves teaching abilities to listen, read, write, speak, and view things, with thinking being an integral part of each process.
School literacy activities should take on a "real-world" perspective, allowing students to have authentic literacy learning experiences.
Real-world themes that combine various resources and activities can provide authentic experiences, helping students develop their abilities to construct meaning.
