Zachary Mayes English 1321 What literacy is, what it meant to them, and how they became literate? Literacy is the ability to read and write. The inability to read and write is called illiteracy.

Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write. I grew up in a Kenya; at that particular time it wasn’t the norm for us children to be read bedtime stories before we went to sleep, taught the alphabet at an early age by our parents, or anyone else for that matter.
