A Modern Definition Of Literacy
The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak.
In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that society.
