Literacy is an
important skill required to function in our society today. Literacy is not a single skill used in the
same manner for all types of printed and written information. Every adult needs a range of literacy skills
to achieve his or her personal goals to pursue a successful career, and to play
an active role as a citizen. Indeed, high levels of literacy can enable
individuals to keep pace with changing educational expectations and
technologies as well as support the aspirations of their families. It is evidence that without literacy, one can
barely survive. It is my desire to promote
life-learning literacy skills to the learning community.
