Principles guiding literacy teaching Instructional Strategies Educator Equity I. Learner Centered Professional Development Literacy to me is the ability to negotiate meaning through oral, textual, and or pictorial devices.

Literacy is communication of intent and sentiment.
I am an auto-didactic writer and reader, I read in spurts and use the last book I read to lead me to many other books. Writing is not a choice for me, I get feelings of urgency to write poems, short stories, bilingual plays, some of which have been published. I wrote for a newspaper for 2 years as well. Writing is not an easy process for me. Slow, edit, write, erase.
