Power of literacy
Power of literacy featured image

Literacy is the ability to read, view, write, design, speak and listen in a way that allows you to communicate effectively.

The power of literacy lies not just in the ability to read and write, but also in your ability to apply these skills to effectively connect, interpret and discern the intricacies of the around you.

To find books for your child’s reading level, check out these lists, organized by grade level and interests.

When reading books with children there are questions you can ask before you start reading, questions to ask during reading or questions to ask after you are done. For sample questions see Comprehension Questions to Ask Children While Reading.
