Literacy Week Day 2: Words Build Confidence
The words we know can influence how we communicate, learn, advocate for ourselves, and connect with others.
Building a strong vocabulary isn't about trying to sound impressive. It's about giving yourself more tools to clearly express your thoughts, understand new information, and confidently communicate what you need.
Through our Survival Program, we want young people to recognize that strengthening their vocabulary can support them in the classroom, during interviews, in the workplace, and throughout everyday life.
And building your vocabulary can start small! Read something new, look up unfamiliar words, ask questions, play word games, or challenge yourself to learn one new word each day.
đź’ˇ Today's Word Challenge: PERSIST
Persist means to continue doing something despite difficulties or delays.

Remember: every new word is another tool you can use to communicate with confidence.
