Literacy

  

I am a huge advocate for literacy! My undergraduate thesis is about literacy and the connection it has to young adolescent self-esteem. In my opinion, literacy is power. If students are equipped with literacy skills, they can more easily navigate and change the world in which they live. Literacy is more than just being able to read and write; literacy is the ability to comprehend texts, situations, and relationships in a deep and meaningful way. A couple resources to help you delve into literacy (and practice literacy skills too!):
