2015
Overview
National Literacy and Numeracy Week (NLNW) is an established event on the education calendar to promote the importance of literacy and numeracy as fundamental life skills and highlight effective literacy and numeracy practice on a national scale. The NLNW feedback survey is still open; however, initial feedback about the literacy and numeracy activities has been positive. This year NLNW included the Indigenous Literacy Foundation book swap as an activity to celebrate books and reading and to raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to provide books and literacy resources for Indigenous children and families in remote communities. Literacy Ambassador Felicity Castagna is a published author and former high school teacher. Felicity was awarded the 2014 Prime Minister's Literature Award in the Young Adult Fiction category for her book The Incredible Here and Now and uses her knowledge and experience to deliver creative writing workshops everywhere -- from jails, schools, community centres and universities, to writers' festivals and writers' centres.
