Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF)
Literacy describes a set of skills including speaking and listening (oracy), reading and writing which allows us to make sense of the world around us .
Numeracy describes the set of skills needed to tackle real-life problems in a variety of situations using numerical reasoning to plan how to solve the problem, and then carry out the mathematical procedures to find the solution.
Teachers have a framework to work from to ensure pupils have increased opportunities to continue applying their literacy and numeracy skills across the curriculum.
