The resource has been organised into 5 modules:
Module 2: Subject area literacy for students in years 9–13
Module 3: Exploring aspects of subject area literacy within a technology context
Module 4: Exploring aspects of subject area literacy within a science context
Module 5: Exploring aspects of subject area literacy within a social studies context
“Literacy is a human right, a tool of personal empowerment and a means for social and human development. Educational opportunities depend on literacy.” UNESCO
Literacy is central to all levels of learning, through all delivery modes. Literacy is an issue that concerns everybody.
The Ministry wishes to acknowledge the lead writer Chris Thornley, the development team, and the subject advisers, teachers, and students who have contributed to the development of this resource.
