Literacy

• Establish independence by building on others' ideas, articulating their own, and confirming that they have been understood.
  
• Build strong content knowledge by refining and sharing knowledge through writing, listening and speaking.
  
• Respond to varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline.
  
• Comprehend as well as critique by being engaged and open-minded readers and listeners.
  

• Value text-based evidence by making their reasoning clear to the reader or listener.
  
• Use technology and digital media strategically and capably.
  
• Understand other perspectives and cultures.
  

In District 303 we have the literacy support cloud based software Read & Write for Google Chrome available for all our students through their Google Chrome accounts.

This resource provides reading, writing and research tools to our students.

Read&Write makes everyday literacy tasks easier.

• Hear web pages and documents read out loud to improve reading comprehension
  
• Understand unfamiliar words with text and picture dictionaries
  
• Develop writing skills with word prediction
  
• Support independent student research with study skill tools
  

It's a BIG confidence booster for anyone who needs a little extra help with reading and writing, at school or at home.
