(i)                 Use information,

(ii)                Improve knowledge and potential,

IMPORTANCE OF BEING LITERATE IN NATIVE LANGUAGE

Individuals who are literate in their native language can correctly understand all the visual and written materials they encounter in social and academic life, develop plans related to the content of the materials, and make the right decisions. 

For this reason, regardless of the conditions of the world that is developing and changing very quickly, individuals who are literate in their native language can adapt to these conditions very easily and make a difference in their environment. 

As Private Tarsus SEV Primary Schools, by improving our students' literacy skills, we aim to raise them as individuals who:

• Fulfill their responsibilities, 
• Are active members of society and social environments and display leadership in these environments,
• Contribute to their growing environment, starting with themselves,
• Adapt to social and academic life easily,
• Are preferred in business life.

LITERACY IN NATIVE LANGUAGE PROCESS?

In addition to written texts made of paragraphs, the literacy process includes reading texts such as maps, sketches, tables, graphs, banners, announcements, lists, and instructions.

Students perform the following operations on these texts:

• Finding and identifying the information contained in the text
• Revealing implicit meaning, developing meaning
• Making associations between the information contained in the text and their daily experiences
• Making assessments beyond the information contained in the text

As Tarsus SEV, our goal is to raise individuals who have the competencies of the future, who can shape the future by leading their own environment, who work in line with their goals, and who make a difference and produce.
