Why Literacy is Important!

Literacy is important because if we don't know how to write or read we would not be able to help our kids to learn how to read. Like some elders can’t read, and if you can’t read someone can steal your money or rip you off with something because if you go to a store and you are getting something they could say it is more than it actually is. Also if go to another country and you don't know how to speak in their language you will not know where to go, and if go to a restaurant in a different country and you don't know how to read their menu you could eat something that you are allergic too. This is why i think Literacy is important.
