Rationale for the Literacy Action Plan

From the previous piece of literature, literacy has been associated closely with success in higher education, grades, school dropouts, civic participation, employability, discipline issues, and 21st-century skills (Grotlüschen, 2016). Literacy is vital to success in nearly all aspect of life. Literacy is the capability for one to fluently read, listen, write, think, and communicate effectively (Budd and Lloyd, 2014). From the past study, students in grade 1-6 still struggle to read, write, comprehend, and respond to the increasingly complex text (Grotlüschen, 2016). The prime purpose of this literacy action plan is to ensure students attain the literacy requirement of career, college, and good citizenship. The action plan will use both formative and summative assessment method to evaluate and assess students’ progress. Formative assessments will assess students’ knowledge gained after each teaching activity to provide vital feedback and provide additional information on areas and activities that need modifications.
