Literacy means to understand and read the world. In today's world, technology is a necessity This means that our students need to be able to understand, operate, and be literate in computer programs, researching information, etc. because these skills are necessary for their future. Literacy has a broad focus, that has gotten broader due to technology.

The word that keeps coming to my mind is balance. Finding the correct balance of still understanding the basics, yet being able to stay on top of the ever changing world we live in with technology. Finding a balanced literacy approach by using all the literacy resources available to us is the key.

Literacy is everything from reading picture books, the first drawings and utterances of children to early reading education all the way through formal college education.  It is in many formats such as reading, speaking, writing, texting, phoning, and the list goes on---It is also reading people, animals, the environment.  Literacy is our life!!

Literacy and Music are cohesive and support each other.  Be it written words of songs, rhyming, expression, Rhythm, tone of voice, "Rock & Read" etc...
I apply the lessons shared by Lindsay in any way I can during music class, as simple as sounding out letters of the alphabet, to having students be able to explain what a song is about.
They also Create, Express, Learn HIstory, Imaginate, etc...
