Literacy is one's ability to understand and communicate ideas effectively and accurately. Being able to read and write is how we learn to intake information and communicate our own thoughts on paper. As we progress in technology we also have technological literacy in which we must be able to utilize technology to learn and communicate new ideas with others. With technology we've documented and shared more information about different culture's around the world which develops a new type of literacy: the ability to understand other's culture's and communicate about your own.

Literacy is learning expression through reading and being able to express yourself in writing. Literacy is the ability of showing your understanding of something through writing. Using the right grammar and punctuation also defines what literacy means. For example, summarizing a chapter of a book in your own words is a form of literacy. Understanding the key concepts of a texts or finding the main idea of an excerpt all define what literacy means.

The ability to communicate and express language. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing would all be components of literacy. Language can be math, music, art, etc. Not just words. This would allow someone to make sense of the world around them and form an identity.

i think literacy is more of making sense and understanding what is around through learning reading and writing skills. literacy allows you to utilize what you've learned to adapt and adjust to the world around you.

When googled, Literacy can easily be described as the ability to read and write, but I personally believe that reading and writing are just the first and most basic layer of literacy itself. I believe literacy to be the ability to understand and comprehend a recollection of words and sentences, the ability to utilize said tools in order to not only comprehend but also to create our own; to gather the information needed to make and have a better understanding of a structure or idea.

Developing literacy skills gives people the power to actively engage with their world. The ability to communicate your ideas, in whatever form, whether it be written, verbal, visual, etc., is necessary for creating whatever change you would like to. And, the ability to read, whether that be literature, visual art, etc., is necessary for developing those ideas.

How do we evaluate literacy holistically considering every person has a unique language and background which shapes their work? - Nadya
