I think the aim of literacy is to teach children/young people the ability to understand the English language both verbally and non-verbally. Children/young people should be encouraged to explore the way the English language works for example through phonics for vocabulary, reading, writing and spelling, this will help children and young people to have the knowledge to be able to read, write and spell with confidence.

“Graduating Peter” is a documentary that follows Peter Gwazdauskis, a child with Down Syndrome, and the act of inclusion. The documentary tracks Peter in sixth grade through high school; the film shows his struggle with being in general education classes with non disabled students and developing the life skills necessary to take care of himself. “Graduating Peter" also shows him coming out of his shell, enjoying the excitement of high school activities, and making new friends and well as continuing the bond of old friends.
