What is Literacy?

Literacy is the ability to understand and use printed information in daily activities at home, at work, and in the community. People use their literacy skills to:

• Read to a child
• Write a grocery list
• Apply for a job
• Find a street
• Order from a menu
• Use a bank machine
• Travel
• Read a birthday card
• Follow a recipe
• Apply for a license
• Help with school work
• Use a computer
• Complete an Income Tax form

Literacy skills help people:

• find information
• set goals
• work with others
• solve problems
• make decisions

People with literacy skills:

• have more choices about their lives and more control over those choices
• are more likely to lead healthier lives, earn more money and help their children be the best they can be
