Literacy
Literacy learning begins early in life and is ongoing. Literacy is viewed as developmental
which exemplified by content development of
literacy with oral language, by learning to read
write as social and cognitive endeavours.

functions as internalized social relationships
show that children increase their independent
engagement in reading activities, with previously
acquired interaction with more literate others,
such as their parents.
