Leveraging Everyday Literacy Practices

Writing can be challenging.

Particularly when securing employment depends on effective writing skills.

However, the key skills necessary for effective writing are the same skills we use while:

  • reading Instagram posts

  • writing an email to friends

  • sharing our opinion of a tv show or movie.

These everyday literacy practices are the foundation for learning new skills.

The Literate Self helps to make visible the connection between everyday literacy practices, writing, and using new technology.
