Literacy is about more than just reading

Do you remember ever reading something that changed your life? Once you know how to read, you don’t think of the parts of reading. Actually the road to literacy is more complicated then we think.

If asked “Are you literate?” you might stumble in your answer. If asked “Are you able to read?” you may answer more easily.

Literacy is more than reading, but that component alone is valuable core. Reading allows us to live a thousand lives rather than one. It allows us to succeed and fail without damage.
