UKLA Viewpoints: Critical Literacy

• Critical literacy examines the relationship between language, literacy and power.
• Teaching and learning about critical literacy recognises that texts reflect the position of the writer and aim also to position the reader.
• Critical literacy means evaluating and analysing texts to identify the choices made in constructing texts, the worldviews they represent and the social impact of those texts.
