B. Answer the following questions.
1. What is literacy? What is new literacy?
- Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us
communicate effectively and make sense of the world. New literacies refer to
new forms of literacy made possible by digital technology developments.
Commonly recognized examples include instant messaging, blogging, social
networking, podcasting, photo sharing, digital storytelling, and conducting online
searches.
2. What are the changes of literacy in the modern age?
- At an age of four, most of the kids are capable to read and write. They do
need a lot of training for it as fine motor skills take time for development.
Kids on entering LKG may have a slow start to their reading and writing
journey.

There are different thoughts though as few schools make kids write from
Nursery itself; which i feel is not the right age.
 After seeing loads of students across India, i personally have an opinion that
kids above four can be introduced to reading and writing both.

Note: i am considering Nur (3 years), LKG (4 years), UKG (5 years) as the

kindergarten classes.

3. What are the literacy brought by technological literacy?

- Technological literacy is related to digital literacy in that when an
individual is proficient in using computers and other digital devices to
access the Internet, digital literacy gives them the ability to use the
Internet to discover, review, evaluate, create, and use information via
various digital platforms.
4. What are the 21st century literacies?
- In the 21st century, people need to know more and be able to do more
than they did in the past. This new level of literacy includes traditional
literacy skills, such as reading, writing, and arguing as well as critical
thinking, scientific reasoning, and multi-cultural awareness.
5. What are the five skills that Nicholson and Galguera (2013) presented?
- (a) the ability to identify questions and frame problems to guide reading on the
internet, (b) the capacity to identify information that is relevant to one’s needs, (c)
competence with critically evaluating online information, (d) facility with reading
and synthesizing information from multiple multimedia sources, and (e)
understanding how to communicate with others in contexts where information is
learned about and shared collectively. (Nicholson & Galguera, 2013, p. 21)
6. What are the rights of students that International Reading Association gave?
- The Children's Rights to Read initiative, founded on 10 fundamental rights every
child deserves, was developed to ensure that every child, everywhere, has access to
the education, opportunities, and resources needed to read. Learn about the 10
Rights available in 16 languages.
