Literacy Acquisition

1. Learning the Code

   • developing the ability to encode and decode.

2. Making Meaning

   • using knowledge, strategies and awareness to convey meaning.Understand forms and purposes of different texts. Also for different audiences.

3. Thinking critically

   • analysing meanings, responding to text while reading. Being critically aware while reading.
     • Finding reward in being a reader and writer

4. ALL THREE DEVELOP TOGETHER

   • Learning the code is essential
     • pointless if you cannot gain meaning from words
       • students need to be responding thoughtfully to audience and text.
