Changed in 1989 to alleviate the notion of someone being “literate” or “illiterate”
Literacy is now considered a continuous spectrum,[object Object]

Participants were tested in the following areas:
Prose (the ability to use information from stories)
Document (the ability to use information from documents like applications)
Quantitative (the ability to perform arithmetic functions). ,[object Object]
Level three: the level where people can function well in today’s knowledge-based society. They can read and write well enough to understand everyday documents, use a bank machine, surf the Internet, etc.
60% of Canadian immigrants have low literacy ,[object Object]
A higher percentage of men have low literacy skill levels than women
Adults with low literacy levels are twice as likely to be unemployed
45% of Canadian jobs created in this decade will require 16 years of education,[object Object]
High mobility-Moving around means that children don’t learn valuable skills as they go from one school to the next
Poor quality schools or instructors, or inadequate materials
Physical or mental disabilities including brain     damage, learning disorders, or even poor     eye-sight
Why Low Literacy Levels? ,[object Object]
