QUESTION 1
1.1 In a brief discussion, answer the questions below:
1.1.1 In your own words, define the term ‘literacy’.
Definition (Own Words):
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, and understand language effectively. It involves using
these skills to communicate ideas, understand information, and interact with others in everyday
life. Literacy is not just about reading books—it also includes the ability to make sense of what is
seen, heard, and said in different social and cultural contexts.
Discussion Points (to expand to earn more marks):
Literacy includes understanding symbols and texts (e.g., road signs, digital media).
It is essential for learning in all school subjects.
It empowers individuals to participate fully in society and the economy.
Literacy evolves with technology (e.g., digital literacy is now a key part of it).
(Suggested mark breakdown: Definition = 3, Discussion = 5 marks; Total = 8 marks)
1.1.2 In your own words, define the term ‘emergent literacy’.
, Definition (Own Words):
Emergent literacy refers to the early skills, knowledge, and attitudes that children develop before
they learn to read and write formally. It includes things like recognising letters, enjoying
storybooks, pretending to write, and understanding that print carries meaning.
Discussion Points (to expand):
Emergent literacy begins from birth through interaction with caregivers and the
environment.
It includes listening to stories, talking, drawing, scribbling, and singing songs.
It lays the foundation for formal reading and writing in school.
It is influenced by home literacy practices, language exposure, and play.
(Suggested mark breakdown: Definition = 3, Discussion = 5 marks; Total = 8 marks)
Total Discussion Guidance (24 Marks):
2 clear definitions (3 marks each = 6)
2 expanded discussions (5–6 marks each = 10–12)
Clarity, relevance, and own wording (6–8 marks depending on depth)
1.1.3 Critically discuss how technology has influenced literacy in the current
state of education.

how learners access information and how literacy is taught and practiced.
Positive Influences:
