They enable students to extend their knowledge and use of language, increase their understanding of themselves and others, and experience enjoyment and personal satisfaction.Reading provides students with a means of accessing the ideas, views and experiences of others. Writing enables students to explore, shape and clarify their thoughts, and to communicate them to others.

Oral language is the foundation of literacy. Through listening and speaking, people communicate thoughts, feelings, experiences, information and opinions, and learn to understand themselves and others. Oral language carries a community’ s stories, values, beliefs and traditions. Listening and speaking enable students to explore ideas and concepts, as well as to understand and organize their experiences and knowledge.

Viewing and representing are integral parts of contemporary life. These skills allow students to understand the ways in which images and language may be used to convey ideas, values and beliefs. Viewing is an active process of attending to and comprehending such visual media as television, advertising images, and films. Representing enables students to communicate information and ideas through a variety of media, such as video presentations, and posters.
