Media literacy helps us understand and think about the information we see and hear. It teaches us how to ask questions like, 'Is this true?' or 'Who made this?' For example, when you watch a commercial for a toy, media literacy helps you think about whether the toy is really as fun as it looks. By learning these skills, you can make smart choices about what to believe and share with others.
