What is literacy?

Group: Diana Thrasher, Megan Boyce, and April Davis

Our group has defined literacy as a way of understanding or communicating. It also concerns comprehension and the ability to both retain and apply information. In deciding what literacy is, we also considered what it is not. To be illiterate does not entail stupidity. While it does have both negative denotations and connotations, illiteracy is mainly a disadvantage in that those who are illiterate don't have the proper tools to communicate.
