All of us need to be reminded occasionally that the goal of literacy is not just to learn how to read. The goal of literacy is to give a person the power to be in command of their environment through effective communication, written and otherwise, and to make valuable connections through contextual clues that aid in a deeper dimensional understanding of life experiences. Everywhere. All the time.

More than just being able to read the words above, your literacy helped you understand exactly what I meant by making connections to your experiences, personal views, and world knowledge. Give that gift to others. It is never too late or too hard to master English Language life literacy when being literate means being able to navigate life in a culture that relies on understanding to communicate vital information.

My Favorite Literacy Tip: Turn on closed captioning on your devices and turn down the volume until you can only just hear and understand what the people are saying. After you get used to it, you will find yourself reading along automatically for hours of stress-free practice!
