What is Social Literacy?

Social Literacy is the ability of an individual to connect effectively with

those around them by interacting, maintaining, and building relationships.
 Social Literacy: UNIT II

Social Literacy is successful when an individual can intercede their world as

family members, workers, citizens, and lifelong learners.

Social Literacy helps students combine all the features of literacy

and uses them to communicate with others, so students can express
their own thoughts
 Social Literacy: UNIT II

Why is important?
As we become more dependent on technology, we are beginning to
interact less with each other face to face. Social Literacy helps
prevent against a lot of forms of abuses(e.g., bullying etc.) when
young people learn how to express themselves correctly. They will
learn how to handle situations with teachers and peers in person in
lieu of technology.

It is important to make sure students interact in groups in the

classroom. The students are practicing social skills that can be
applied within and outside of the classroom
 Social Literacy: UNIT II

How can this be taught?

Simply by modeling appropriate behaviors a teacher can

help the students learn social literacy

This should be taught to children through communication in order to obtain

great social skills. This can be taught by showing them how to interact with
family, friends, and colleagues in and out of school.

Using Social Literacy online, during a group project or with a classmate is an

important way for students to practice the basic concepts of literacy. If students
are exposed to social literacy they will become more confident socially in
and out of the classroom. They will be able to voice their opinions through social
literacy
