LITERACY
Theme Leaders: Linda Phillips,University of Alberta. Raymond Klein,Dalhousie University.
Listening and speech provide the foundations for language, which provides
the foundation for literacy. Unlike oral language, writing is a recent
human invention. Because we are not specifically prepared, biologically
speaking, to write and read, reading and writing are skills whose
acquisition depends upon special exposure and training.
The goals of Theme IV are 1) to better understand and measure literacy
development and 2) to apply this knowledge to ensure that all children will
have the opportunity, through literacy, to participate fully in, and contribute
actively to, Canadian society and culture.
