Why We Exist
Words Liive believes our students are effectively communicating complex themes, ideas, and thoughts through multiple formats everyday. Therefore, we see no justifiable reason for students to be deficient in literacy!
How We Work
Words Liive is an education services company that developed Contemporary Language Integration, (CLI). CLI is a new approach to literacy that evaluates contemporary languages such as:
- 1) The Lyrics of Urban Music
- 2) Code/ Computer Programming Languages
- 3) Social Media lingo
- 4) Text message language
Our systemic process integrates these contemporary languages into traditional classroom literature such as novels, speeches, essays, plays, and poems for enhanced literacy.
The CLI process is ideal for English, History, Social Studies, and Technology curricula.
