Yes this definition is true and correct, but it is vital to understand that literacy has a forever growing meaning. I recently learned that literacy has expanded to the ability to use and understand languages, numbers, symbols, and cultures. By using this expanded definition, the importance of literacy in school is also growing. No longer is literacy vital in just English. Literacy is used in all subjects ranging from Math to technology class. It is important to realize the usefulness of literacy. While technology, science, history, math, English, and all other subjects progressively grow in content, so will the literacy of such subjects. 
Literacy will never die, and will always be useful. It is imperative for future teachers to implement the use of literacy in all subjects taught.   ]]> 2016-11-22 22:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tlycos2/g2tvvczaf9ni/wish/139484372
