Why is literacy across the curriculum important? Learning in any subject area requires the use of language; therefore, reading and writing are used as tools for learning the subject area. Connecting literacy learning to other content reinforces learning in all areas. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening are interconnected skills that develop collectively. They are also the key to critical thinking instruction. The more fluent students as readers, writers, speakers, and listeners, the clearer, more coherent, and more flexible their thinking will become.

AFFECTIVE LEARNING Affective learning focuses on developing students' belief systems, emotions, and attitudes. The underlying beliefs of affective education are that in order to learn different subjects optimally, students must develop these aspects of their personality. By working to develop these traits, students will have a more solid foundation on which to build their learning.

Staying physically active during this developmental phase will strengthen the fundamental skills needed to lead a healthy and active life as an adult. These skills include, agility, balance, coordination, and endurance. Learning and developing these skills will also have a tremendous impact on child’s confidence and self-esteem, as well as providing them with an ongoing sense of accomplishment and independence.
