ICT in the Renewed Literacy Framework

The aim of this section of the renewed literacy framework is to show how ICT can add value to aspects of literacy learning across the primary phase. It comprises a collection of brief illustrations, grouped by the type of technology they exploit. Illustrations may also be accessed by hyperlink from the grid which shows where they might fit in terms of age range and strand of literacy learning. Of course, the technologies and approaches listed will need to be interpreted and amended to suit the needs of learners. They may also be adapted for use beyond the age ranges specified here.
