Literacy Education

Literacy learning begins with you!
Literacy learning does not only happen at school!• Write a shopping list before you
go.• Read the shopping list and collect
items.• Read the packet logos or labels.• Read the numbers.• Speak about where to find
something ( e.g. “It is next to the bananas”).
• Ask and answer questions ( e.g. “Can you find a packet that has a ‘b’ on it?” or “Which pack has less sugar?”)
• Read the recipe and tell me which items I need.
• Listen to instructions (e.g. “Can you get the milk from aisle three, then the lettuce from the fruit and vegetable section please?”)

types.
• Children recode oral language into reading and writing by connecting print to letters/groups of letters/words.
