What is Literacy?

For most people, literacy means reading and writing. But what about...

• using and filling out forms and documents?
• making change or balancing your cheque book?
• talking to others so they understand?
• being able to listen and understand others?
• getting along with co-workers and people in your community?
• solving problems?
• using a computer, cell phone or other technology?

Literacy is so much more than reading and writing!
