Talk:Literacy

With regards to the introduction - wouldn't it be better to present literacy as a set of skills and competencies that facilitate access to information and (effective?) participation in a community or social context? As I understand it literacy can come in many forms - visual, auditory, digital, etc... and mostly has to do with ones ability to access, understand, organize, and create information. Grade levels provide a sort of measure of this, but are embedded in a context; what it takes to be literate in the United States may be different than what is required in say, Rwanda or India.
