Learning Episode 0.4: Strategies for Promoting Literacy and Numeracy
This lesson presents the teaching strategies that augment literacy and numeracy skills. It will
help you analyze how different strategies are employed in integrating literacy and numeracy in
teaching.
Objectives:
1. Define the terms “numeracy” and “literacy.”
2. Observe how literacy and numeracy are integrated in teaching and learning.
3. Identify strategies in promoting literacy and numeracy.
Education Theory
One of the target goals specified under Global Goals 4.6 is to ensure that all youth and a
sustainable proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy by 2030. To
achieve this goal, teachers who serve as forefront of teaching literacy and numeracy should be
equipped with knowledge on strategies that promote literacy and numeracy skills.
Literacy and numeracy skills are the foundational skills that learners need to develop to
succeed in life. These basic skills refer to the students’ ability to understand the effective use of
language and communication skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) and mathematical
concepts (number sense, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fraction) that are
useful in everyday life. According to Wyatt – Smith et. al. (2011), literacy and numeracy education is
core in quality learning across all phases of schooling and all curriculum areas. This means that the
teacher’s role in instigating literacy and numeracy is significant to improve student’s academic
performance. Knowing how literacy and numeracy are taught under the K – 12 curriculum and
understanding the learner’s competence are essential in identifying appropriate strategies to promote
literacy and numeracy among the students.
The following are some of the strategies that can be used to promote literacy in teaching and
learning:
1. Brainstorming and discussion
2. Cooperative learning
3. Inquiry – based learning
4. Problem – based learning
5. Using visuals, semantics, and graphic organizers
6. Promoting journal and writing
7. Organizing games, role playing, drama, and charades
8. Using music, rhythm, and dance
9. Conducting experiments and practical experience
Field Study 1 21
10. Storytelling
11. Using audio and video materials
Meanwhile, below are the strategies for building numeracy in different learning areas:
1. Using concepts of time, numbers, dates, and sequencing events in teaching History
2. Measuring distance, volume, weight, and height and using percentage and calculation
in teaching Science and Mathematics
3. Collecting, comparing, and interpreting data in teaching Science, Mathematics, Social

Studies and TLE
4. Using graphs and diagrams in teaching Mother Tongue, English, Filipino, Values
Education, Mathematics and TLE
5. Using game scores, dance steps, and rhythm in teaching MAPEH
6. Using play money in teaching financial literacy in TLE, Mathematics and Social
Studies.
In 2015, the DepEd issued guidelines on the Early Language, Literacy, and Numeracy
Program: Professional Development Component (DepEd Order No. 12) in line with then President
Benigno S. Aquino III’s ten – point agenda that “every child should be a reader by Grade 1.” Its
primary goal is to develop the Filipino children’s literacy and numeracy skills and attitudes toward
lifelong learning.

LEARNING ACTIVITY TASK 0.4C

Direction: Answer the following questions based on what you have observed in the class. Compile
your answer in a portfolio.
1. How can literacy affect one’s life?

Literacy enhances communication skills, accessing information, and enabling continued
education, decision-making, and societal engagement. It facilitates knowledge acquisition,
postsecondary education, and professional advancement. Reading improves critical analysis
and problem-solving, empowering individuals to weigh arguments, evaluate data, and make
informed judgments. Reading also promotes empowerment, self-improvement, and self-
assurance. Overall, literacy unlocks opportunities for social interaction, economic
engagement, and personal growth.
2. How important is numeracy in our daily life?

Numeracy, or understanding and manipulating numbers, is crucial in our daily lives for
decision-making, financial management, and problem-solving. It aids in finding solutions and
making intelligent choices, potentially leading to better career opportunities, improved job
performance, and empowering critical thinking. This skill also allows for active participation
in society.
3. How can literacy and numeracy improve the learner’s academic performance?
Literacy and numeracy skills are important for improving academic performance. Strong
literacy skills enable learners to understand and analyze complex texts, enhancing their
understanding across various subjects. Numeracy skills enhance critical thinking and problem-
solving abilities, allowing learners to approach academic challenges with logical reasoning.
Literacy skills enable learners to express their thoughts clearly and coherently, participate in
class discussions, and efficiently gather, evaluate, and synthesize information. Numeracy skills
are essential for understanding and interpreting data, graphs, and charts, which are crucial in
subjects like mathematics, science, and economics. Both skills contribute to effective problem-
solving.
4. In the absence of digital technologies and printed materials, what do you think are the
strategies you can use to promote literacy and numeracy?
In the absence of digital technologies and printed materials, promoting literacy and
numeracy can be achieved through various strategies. These include oral tradition,
manipulatives and real-life examples, visual aids, kinesthetic activities, peer collaboration,
and storytelling and mnemonics. Oral storytelling promotes language development,
comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Manipulatives and real-life examples teach
mathematical operations, while visual aids help learners understand and remember key ideas.
Kinesthetic activities involve movement and physical engagement, while storytelling techniques
aid memory and comprehension.

LEARNING ACTIVITY TASK 0.4D

Direction: Write your reflection of what you have learned in this lesson by completing the
statements below. Compile your answer in a portfolio.
1. I realized that there is an importance of incorporating literacy and numeracy in schools to enhance
students' learning and development. They argue that teachers should promote these qualities to
maximize their potential and help students develop logical thinking abilities for sound decision-
making and societal contribution, preventing rivalry.
2. I believe that reintegrating the learning process is crucial for literacy and numeracy, and teachers
must monitor students' progress as they become proficient in various techniques and fields.
disrupting self-examination and conscience helps students think critically and appreciate self-
maturity during formation.
3. I feel that as a future teacher, it is my responsibility to mentor students, as they are the second
source of information, abilities, and attitudes. i must exercise caution when imparting knowledge,
especially when it comes to content standards or subject matter, as every piece can impact a
student's life.
4. When I become a teacher, I will acquire more strategies to promote literacy and numeracy, helping
students make good decisions and develop mannered values. This aligns with the core curriculum
values and school premises. Implementing more knowledge can help generate a set plan for life
transformation, ensuring a positive impact on students.
