Literacy Promotion involves which practice?

• A. Encouraging reading through appropriate literature selection.
• B. Developing a district-wide library budget.
• C. Digitizing the catalog.
• D. Hosting a staff training on management.

Answer: (A)

Literacy promotion centers on getting readers engaged by connecting them with books they’ll want to read. The best way to do that is by carefully selecting literature that fits readers’ needs: appropriate reading levels, diverse interests, and relevant cultural contexts. When a librarian curates titles that are accessible and appealing, students are more likely to pick up a book, read more, and develop stronger reading skills. Book talks, recommendations, and a range of genres and formats help sustain that motivation and enjoyment.

Tools like a district-wide budget, digitizing the catalog, or staff training support library operations, but they don’t in themselves promote reading through matching students with suitable books.
