Basic Literacy
Definition of Basic Literacy As illustrated in Fig. 2.1, basic literacy is the foundational skill. Without a basic level of literacy, the other types of literacy become impossible and irrelevant. UNESCO offered one of the first definitions of literacy. “A literate person is one who can, with understanding, both read and write a short simple statement on his or her everyday life.”1, p. 12 This definition is still in frequent use today. In 2003 UNESCO proposed an operational definition that attempted to encompass several different dimensions of literacy. “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society.”1 Although other UNESCO publications have provided additional definitions of literacy, the 2003 definition continues to be the more comprehensive definition. In the United States, the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics conducts the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL). The NAAL definition of literacy includes both knowledge and skills. NAAL assesses three types of literacy: prose, document, and quantitative. • Prose literacy: The knowledge and skills needed to search, comprehend, and use continuous texts such as editorials, news stories, brochures, and instructional materials. • Document literacy: The document-related knowledge and skills needed to perform a search, comprehend, and use noncontinuous texts in various formats such as job applications, payroll forms, transportation schedules, maps, tables, and drug or food labels. • Quantitative literacy: The quantitative knowledge and skills required for identifying and performing computations, either alone or sequentially, using numbers embedded in printed materials such as balancing a checkbook, figuring out a tip, completing (NAAL).

The assumption is that this includes the ability to understand both text and numeric information. Many people assume that if one can read and understand information in printed format, presumably that individual could read and understand the same information on a computer screen. However, computer literacy involves much more than the ability to read information from a computer screen. In fact, the term computer literacy with its limited scope is outdated.
