"Literacy"? Not really. AFAIK, there's the "functional literacy" term for that.
- coldtea 6y agoWhat good is literaracy (alone) without reading comprehension? Being able to read road signs and the like?
- wzel 6y agoI'd say that there can be degrees of reading comprehension, and I tend to view functional illiteracy as literacy attrition, kind of secondary illiteracy. I guess it's useful to distinguish it from strict illiteracy (somebody not having learned how to read in the first place), as it requires a different kind of treatment, even if the symptoms of both are similar.
