=Welcome to my Wiki!=

This wiki is devoted to literacy. Literacy skills are the essential building blocks for the development of a vibrant society and economy. These foundation skills are embedded in activities in the home, school, community and workplace. There is a continuum of development ranging from learning to read through to reading to learn a variety of other skills and perspectives on life. The end of this continuum is the complex set of skills necessary for daily life, employment, citizenship, and personal advancement and enjoyment in our modern and diverse society. Today, the broad definition of literacy includes a variety of skills: reading text, document use, writing, oral communications, numeracy, thinking skills, computer use, working with others and continuous learning. There is also cultural, emotional, environmental, numeracy, social, and visual literacy. Please feel free to update this wiki with any other resources you have for teaching these new literacies in the classroom.
