Numeracy is integrated throughout English classes as students are given opportunities to develop their reading, writing, oral communication and viewing skills in many areas. Informational texts are selected which promote financial literacy as well as examine statistics in media. Specific reading strategies for Graphic texts are introduced and practised so students can develop cross-curricular literacy skills. Students use Venn Diagrams and Graphs to visually represent events in literature and evaluate a character’s actions and motivations. In addition, students regularly build their vocabulary to increase their understanding of word problems and task instructions.
