Literacy is more than just reading and writing—it’s the ability to understand, interpret, and communicate ideas effectively across different formats, whether it’s through text, speech, visuals, or digital media.

In my science classroom, I incorporate literacy by having students annotate informational texts, use sentence stems to explain their thinking, and write short responses using evidence from readings or labs. This helps them build vocabulary, improve comprehension, and communicate scientific ideas clearly.
