Literacy is the competency to interpret, produce, and express ideas effectively through
reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It enables individuals to function meaningfully
within their social, academic, and professional environments.

Emergent literacy refers to the developmental phase where young children begin to
grasp the basics of language and print, such as recognizing letters, understanding
storytelling, and engaging in pretend reading, all before formal reading instruction
begins.
1.1.3
Digital tools have reshaped literacy by providing learners with diverse and interactive
formats such as online books, multimedia stories, and educational applications. These
resources support various learning preferences but may also reduce attention to
traditional reading and cause dependency on screens for learning.
1.1.4
A notable feature of literature aimed at young readers is its use of accessible
vocabulary, engaging narratives, and visually appealing illustrations that make stories
easier to follow and more enjoyable for children.
1.1.5
While emergent literacy focuses on early exposure to language through activities like
