Literacy is the ability to use language to read and write. While speaking develops naturally, reading and writing must be learned.
However, many children and adults can’t read and struggle when they try. A lack of literacy can limit success, lead to low self-esteem, unemployment and other unfortunate outcomes.
This widespread problem must be recognized and addressed. 95% of students can be taught to read and write. Literacy How helps make that happen.
