Today's information society requires people to have better skills in understanding texts. However, more than 500 million children around the world aged 10 cannot read. What is the significance of literacy for a child of the 2020s?
Instead of traditional literacy, Finnish schools are increasingly talking about multiliteracy. It refers to the skills of interpreting, generating and assessing information. Children encounter many types of media texts every day, such as videos and advertisements. Good literacy skills allow people to take a critical look at information presented in different forms.
