5 WAYS TO IMPROVE LITERACY IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Literacy begins with reading, but it is so much more! Literacy includes reading, writing, listening, speaking, thinking and solving. Practice developing your literacy skills by following these tips everyday.

Read It!
Read everyday! You can read a book, magazine, newspaper, comic book, or even a recipe.

Write It!
Begin a journal where can write down something that happened to you everyday. Practice your writing by expressing on paper what is important to you.

Hear It!
When you listen, focus on what a person is trying to tell you. Then, repeat it back to them in different words to make sure you understood what they were trying to say.

Say It!
Practice feeling comfortable talking in a group. Raise your hand in class to answer the teacher’s questions or to ask the teacher a question of your own.

Solve It!
Perfect your problem solving skills by putting together puzzles, answering crosswords, or unraveling word searches.
