Fake news: improved critical literacy skills are key to telling fact from fiction
-
01---------Fake news is a buzzword of our time, but its impact can be significant. Not only can
02---it threaten our democracy, our confidence in governance, or our trust in journalism, but it has
03---also been reported to distort children’s view of the world.
04---In a digital world, we can no longer take everything we read, hear or see at face value –
05---no matter how reliable we believe the source. Children are increasingly likely to encounter fake
06---news; more young people than ever are using digital media as their main source of news, so
07---they must be equipped with the skills to tell fact from fiction.
08---While critical literacy skills are part of every stage of the national curriculum in England,
09---a new report from the National Literacy Trust shows that children are not retaining what they’ve
10---been taught. Some 20% of children aged between eight and 15 believe everything they read
11---online is true, and 35% of UK teachers say pupils have cited fake news or false information
12---found online as fact in their work.
12---Reading comprehension, a big part of the Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculums, is particularly
14---important for preparing children to become critically literate. It helps children accurately
15---understand and interpret information by making connections between what they read and what
16---they already know, working out what is important, and spotting the difference between fact and
17---fiction. Other curriculum areas help to build the foundation skills needed to develop strong
18---critical literacy skills, such as reading a wide range of texts for different purposes, learning
19---about inference, and identifying how language structures and presentation contribute to
20---meaning.
21---In addition to building on the skills learned in primary school, these skills feature even
22---more prominently in secondary school. At Key Stage 3, it is a requirement to teach pupils to
23---read critically and at Key Stage 4, pupils are taught to understand and evaluate texts by
24---seeking evidence to support a point of view, to distinguish between statements that are
25---supported by evidence and those that are not, and to identify bias and misuse of evidence.
26---Children need to be able to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real-life
27---situations. With fake news such a big threat to children’s lives, as well as being such a topical
28---issue, bringing it into the classroom will give teachers the opportunity to further develop their
29---pupils’ critical literacy skills, and give children an opportunity to discuss any news stories that
30---worry them in a safe environment.
