About National Literacy and Numeracy Week

NLNW promotes the importance of literacy and numeracy as fundamental life skills and highlights effective literacy and numeracy practices on a national scale.

The week gives schools the opportunity to get involved in a range of activities and to recognise locally the achievements of students and the work of teachers, parents and members of the community who support young people to develop stronger literacy and numeracy skills.

About National Literacy and Numeracy Week provides information about government policy on literacy and numeracy.

The Adult Literacy and Numeracy Australian Research Consortium

alnarc
The Adult Literacy and Numeracy Australian Research Consortium is based in Victoria and is rich in publications, national activites, literacy and list and links.
Major features of consortium activity have been the development of a ‘visible culture’ of research in Australian adult literacy and numeracy – including research conversations, increased documentation of research projects, sponsoring practitioner researchers to investigate their own practice, and collaboration with state literacy an numeracy councils to foster debate about the links between research policy and provision.
