Literacy is more than reading words on a page. It includes understanding information, expressing thoughts clearly, and navigating daily tasks such as filling out forms, sending emails, or helping children with homework. Writing, in particular, allows people to:

• Communicate ideas and needs effectively

• Advocate for themselves at work and in their community

• Build confidence and independence

• Improve academic and career opportunities

Literacy is a life skill, and improving it can positively impact many areas of daily living.
