3. Quotes from the Framework document
Literacy and numeracy skills are absolutely essential in order for young people to reach their potential whether they are planning to enter further or higher education or the employment market.
The LNF has been developed to help achieve our aims that the children of Wales are able to develop excellent literacy and numeracy skills during their time in school.
The LNF has been developed as a curriculum planning tool for schools that will provide a continuum of development, clearly setting out annual expected outcomes in literacy and numeracy.
