What is Literacy?

Literacy is fundamental to a student’s ability to learn at school and to engage productively in society.

In the Australian Curriculum, students become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to interpret and use language confidently for learning and communicating in and out of school and for participating effectively in society. Literacy involves students listening to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating oral, print, visual and digital texts, and using and modifying language for different purposes in a range of contexts.

Success in any learning area depends on being able to use the significant, identifiable and distinctive literacy that is important for learning and representative of the content of that learning area.

The Australian Curriculum is organised into 3 elements & sub elements. More information on these elements can be found on the AC website.

You will also find information here about teaching this general capability across learning areas.
