Literacy, an important set of skills in today’s labor market,is much more that reading,writing, and numeracy. It is the ability to understand and use printed information in all kinds of daily activities. Literacy skills are essential to a good quality of life,as well as to the strength and adaptability of our national workforce,and the continued health of our economy.
