What can we achieve? The answer: MULTI-LITERACY.
Multi-literacy = communication literacy, community literacy, cultural literacy, computer literacy.
From the Training Manual
Multi – literacy |
Literacy means more than grammar |
Communication literacy |
“Are you illiterate if you have no grammar?.” or “Are you are literate when you have grammar but you do not know how to get on with people living in your community.” |
Community literacy |
Meeting – reading with, working with, people in your local community. Knowing how to foster a community feeling of well being. |
Computer literacy |
Accepting and coming to know and use the part that computer technology has to improve our lives. |
Cultural literacy |
Having an inkling of a culture, or cultures, we do not and cannot and will never know. |
Competence & confident competence |
It is one thing to be competent and quite another to have confidence. When communities can become confident in their competence, when competencies are recognised and acknowledged, then communities can become not only multi-cultural but also multi-literate.

What We Do
What we do is read aloud!!! We read aloud repeatedly, alone or together. Repeat read aloud projects enable people to come together across languages, strengthening community understanding and bonding. Repeat reading aloud alone invests time into language literacy. Repeat reading aloud together invests time into multi-literacy. Proud Read Aloud Projects share the joy of the learning by weaving Kete and publishing them on-line.
