- What is literacy?
o Literacy is the ability to read and use written information and to write appropriately,
in a range of contexts. It is used to develop knowledge and understanding, to
achieve personal growth and to function effectively in our society.
o Literacy also includes the recognition of numbers and basic mathematical signs and
symbols within text.
o Literacy involves the integration of speaking, listening, and critical thinking with
reading, writing and viewing.
o Effective literacy is intrinsically purposeful, flexible and dynamic and continues to
develop throughout an individual’s lifetime.
Western Australian Curriculum: English
- English aims to ensure that students: learn to listen to, read, view, speak, write, create and
reflect on increasingly complex and sophisticated spoken, written and multimodal texts across
a growing range of contexts with accuracy, fluency and purpose
- appreciate, enjoy and use the English language in all its variations and develop a sense of its
richness and power to evoke feelings, convey information, form ideas, facilitate interaction
with others, entertain, persuade and argue
- understand how Standard Australian English works in its spoken and written forms and in
combination with non-linguistic forms of communication to create meaning
- develop interest and skills in inquiring into the aesthetic aspects of texts, and develop an
informed appreciation of literature.
