For children, literacy is a form of communication, a means of having a vocabulary and a way for them to determine a sense of relevance. Literacy in everyday life builds skills for children to determine what something looks like, what it feels like and what it sounds like. Picture books combine all of these literacies through text, visual clues and through the emotional responses gained by sharing a story together. Literacy for children is as essential as food, sunshine and time to play.
The Queensland Ready Readers Program aims to develop literacy levels in our children. Designed to develop a love of reading, rather than being a program that teaches children how to read, details about the program can be found online.
