Sometimes, returning to the basics is crucial. In an everchanging world, the ability to learn how to learn is increasingly important, and the fundamental skills of reading, writing, and counting remain essential for every child.
Indeed, literacy and numeracy are used to acquire, construct and communicate understanding of the content in all subjects and disciplines and at all grade levels (Alberta Education, 2024). It is all the more important to focus on these aspects to establish a solid foundation.
Difficulties with reading and writing can lead to challenges in other school subjects, leading to failure and discouragement. As Anne Lessard, Dean of the Faculty of Education at the Université de Sherbrooke, states: “One of the most important factors in preventing school dropout is the ability to read.”
What’s more, according to Statistics Canada, “there is little doubt in the economics literature that literacy and numeracy skills contribute to individuals’ economic and social well-being.”
In short, these skills are essential for achieving career goals, personal development and social advancement.
On the other hand, difficulty in mastering digital tools is also a form of illiteracy. So why not address this issue by integrating the learning of reading, writing, and mathematics through the thoughtful use of digital tools? Especially since these tools, when used to enhance or support a clear pedagogical intention, can become a powerful lever for academic success.
Indeed, digital tools offer many possibilities for developing skills such as communication and collaboration. They can also make learning situations more interactive and authentic, diversify forms of feedback, createmultidisciplinary contexts, and so on. They allow for differentiated learning paths, simplifying the inclusion of students with special needs or difficulties.
In this issue of the magazine, we wanted to bring together examples of innovative teaching practices and propose applications that can meet the needs of all students, have the potential to engage them in their learning and maintain their motivation.
Mastering reading, writing, mathematics, and digital tools is not just about acquiring academic skills; it’s the key to long-term success.
