The rise in literacy rates during the Renaissance can primarily be attributed to access to books increased. The invention of the printing press around 1440 made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply, leading to a greater availability of literature and educational materials. This accessibility allowed more people to read and write, contributing to higher literacy rates during this period.
