MODULE 4 THE TEACHER’S ROLE
IN PROMOTING LITERACY AND
NUMERACY
UNIT 13: LITERACY ACROSS THE CURRICULUM
The first Unit in this module explores what it means to be literate and how important it is in enabling adults and
children to access and make sense of many dimensions of their world. The Unit explores the different components of
literacy and how becoming literate expands the learners opportunities to access wider understandings. The Unit also
examines the knowledge and skills that all teachers, regardless of their subject specialism, need to understand in order
to help students achieve their full potential in each subject.
UNIT 14: STRATEGIES FOR UNDERSTANDING AND RESPONDING TO
INFORMATION TEXTS
Learning to read is not just about being able to read words. It is necessary for students to be able to read but more
importantly to understand what they are reading and to be able to do this effectively they need to be able to access
texts effectively.
This Unit explores some skills, such a scanning and summarising that teachers can help their
students develop in order to access different kinds of information texts quickly across a range of subjects.
