    THE CONCEPT OF LITERACY

    DEFINITION OF LITERACY

    The origins of literacy comes from the latin word, littera, meaning letters. Literacy is the
    ability to comprehend those letters either through reading, writing and numeracy competencies of
    students. According to the National Statistics Office, there are two kinds of literacy: basic and
    functional. Basic literacy means the ability to read and write a simple message. Functional literacy
    refers to the ability to solve problems, to be creative and critical and to maximize one’s potential
    to the very best of their abilities. However, illiteracy refers to the inability of individuals who
    cannot neither or write.

    Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using
    printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. (Montoya, 2018) Other types of
    literacy include digital literacy, financial literacy, media literacy, health literacy, civic/social literacy
    and legal literacy.

    Digital Literacy is must as everyone uses smartphones and apps alongside it. Financial literacy
    pertains to the ability of the individual to earn, save, invest and manage their own income for
    their own gains. This can be vital to communities with little to no knowledge of the modern
    methods of saving and investing one’s income.

    Media literacy refers to the ability to distinguish reliable information from dubious ones. Under
    media can also be historical literacy as the proliferation of dubious and unreliable false
    information makes its way to the market/public unimpeded, people have to have the ability of
    distinguishing fact from fake.

    Civic/Social literacy relates to understanding of society in general in terms of how we


    understand the different social classes in terms of skin color even language can help identity
    one’s identity and place in society for the better.
    Legal literacy refers to the understanding of the law, the constitution and ability to obey them.
    To be knowledgeable about the law is a right, yet only a few have the skill to understand and
    interpret as some laws are written in the English language instead of mother tongue so the
    learning of English in attaining legal literacy.

    A. Enact

    In today’s digital world, one type of literacy might resound more to you than others, digital
    literacy. According to UNESO, they define digital literacy as the “ability to access, manage,
    understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate and create information safely and appropriately
    through digital technologies for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.”

    If this is the case, what would then be the use of other literacies? Can u illustrate your
    understanding of literacy by making a concept map about it? With literacy at the center, what
    other types and show how it branches out. Do they connect well with the world around us?
