What is Literacy?

Having a good working definition of such a broad category such as literacy is helpful. A definition used by the NCLA Literacy Roundtable is borrowed from the ProLiteracy/National Institute for Literacy:

"Literacy is the ability to read, write and speak English proficiently, to compute and solve problems and to use technology in order to become a life-long learner and to be effective in the family, in the workplace and in the community."
