Essential Skills
Literacy Alberta believes everyone should have the essential skills needed to fully participate in life – at work, at home and in their community. These essential skills are:
- reading
- writing
- document use
- numeracy
- computer use
- thinking
- oral communication
- working with others
- continuous learning.
Essential skills are the foundation for learning all other skills. Every task, at home, at work or in the community, uses them. This need inspired Literacy Alberta to create the Essential Skills Resource Guide to help you explore and understand the essential skills.
The Guide is an Excel spreadsheet, organized by topics and full of helpful links. You can use it from our site, or download it to your own computer.
