What is Literacy?

                   As most of us are well grown into professionals in what's called literacy, we all know that it's what can make people full of knowledge, or simply, wise. Briefly and mainly, literacy is the ability to read and write. As the OXFORD Dictionary (8th Edition) defines, the word Literacy stands to mean exactly the above meaning; "The ability to read and write". If anyone could write and read a language, he has the key to sources of knowledge.

"Reading makes a man Perfect." ....

                    ... This has always been just a statement to some. But literally, it is not just a statement. We have experienced already that people who read a lot are the ones who take best ranks in school and highest marks at exams. So yeah, obviously the reason is that they read a lot and keep what they read in their memory to use when needed. after schooling they graduate and move into professionals in their major and the better they read, the better they become, day by day. And the higher they qualify, the better their lifestyles become. The root of these everything is literally, literacy.
