  22. Overarching Experiences In developing my literacy skills: I communicate, collaborate and build relationships. I learn to reflect on and explain my thinking. I engage with a rich range of texts in different media. I explore the richness and diversity of language, how it can affect me and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative. I develop my understanding of how language works and what is special, vibrant and valuable about other languages and cultures and my own. I appreciate the power of language to influence and bring about change. I extend and enrich my vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading. I develop an understanding of relationships, motivations, ideas and actions. I reflect on how well I am listening and talking, reading and writing. I respond to and act on feedback to help me improve and I provide sensitive and useful feedback to others. I take advantage of the opportunities offered by Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
