In this day and age, young children have access to more information than ever before. Day in and out they are being bombarded with information from television, internet ads and articles, magazines, and social media. It has now become vital to teach children the tools necessary to identify good sources of information from bad.

The need to teach children how to read what is real and what is fake in media

A critical literacy toolkit is exactly what every student needs in order to be prepared for the onslaught of information that they will be subjected to in this new world. By teaching kids to ask specific questions when first being introduced to new information, they will be much better able to disseminate information they should trust, from information they should ignore. When students learn to find out the author of information, why it was written, and where they can fact check the contents of the article, they will be well on their way to being critical literary experts.
So long to a time when most fake news existed at the checkout line in supermarket tabloids. These days, our students are flooded with information, and without the proper skill set for identifying fact from fiction, it will be difficult for them to determine legitimacy.
