Real Life Literacy

This practical handbook shows teachers how to help students develop necessary literacy skills they will require in the real world, including:

• writing and deciphering messages—phone messages, thank-you notes, directions, and letters
• making purchases—buying online, reading package labels, writing cheques, writing an advertisement
• decoding all kinds of schedules, timetables and guides.

This unique guide fills in the gaps missing from traditional language arts classes and makes valuable connections between school and the real world.
