Information for Agencies

Literacy is no longer considered an "all or nothing" skill. It is suggested instead that literacy abilities exist along a continuum. Statistics Canada defines literacy as "the information processing skills necessary to use the printed material commonly encountered at work, at home, and in the community. "

The International Adult Literacy Survey broke reading and writing skills down into several components and provided statistics on Canada's national literacy levels.
