Definition of Physical Literacy<\/h3>\n

Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.\u00a0
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Why Is it Important?<\/h3>\n

Physical Literacy provides a solid foundation for children and youth to develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to enable them to engage with poise and confidence across a wide variety of activities. The development of physical literacy is now a reality for educators and practitioners and many provincial physical education curricula now identify the development of physically literate students as the major outcome of physical education programs.\u00a0

“Almost fifty years ago, Ted Shawn, the renowned dance\u00a0<\/strong>choreographer and performer, made an appeal for a physical literacy focus in PE. He wrote:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We would then have in a few generations a physically “literate” adult population; for today, in spite of “physical education” (which confines itself largely to teaching athletic sports) we have mostly physical illiteracy- only one in a million can communicate and read communications through gesture (1965, pp. 89-90).” (Robinson & Randall, pg. 241, \u00a02013)<\/p>\n
