Ensuring Full Literacy

Ensuring Full Literacy in a Multicultural and Digital World is a team of Canadian and international scholars and industry, community and outreach partners who are working to bridge the many dimensions of literacy acquisition in our multicultural and digitally-connected world. Our researchers bring expertise in both skills central to literacy development, such as oral language and culture, and in new, cutting-edge methodological approaches, including digital media, neuroimaging, and computational analysis. Our partners include local non-profit community organizations, global companies, and nation-wide outreach organizations. Our goal is to generate the scientific knowledge necessary to ensure full literacy – the deep text comprehension needed to succeed in our rapidly-evolving knowledge economy – in increasingly diverse workspaces and communities. We aspire to translate this knowledge into practices, products, and services for all Canadians.
