Having participants demonstrate newly learned or improved skills provides the literacy centres, and also the individual, the opportunity to show improvement. Concrete, real-life (‘authentic’) demonstrations of learning are the most valuable. There isn’t any feeling of ‘pretend or made-up’ activity. Taking the activities out of isolation and applying the skills to the overall project improves transference of skills and makes the skills development more visible.
