What are some of the major causes of illiteracy and how can they be avoided?

Answer 1

Illiteracy depends on the measuring instrument.

Most folks are illiterate because they cannot read, and often, cannot analyze. My opinion is that it often is a processing problem in the brain, which makes recognizing words more difficult than "normal". Buy the time these individuals get their brains wired for visual media, they often have given up and have no interest in reading.

There are pockets of illiteracy in one language or another, quite often the illiteracy is in a language other than the Native tongue.

Literacy really ought not to be you have it or not, but on what level does one function in reading?

Answer 2

Bobpursley is right. You need to clarify your question.

I am completely literate in English and semi-literate in Latin. I am illiterate in any other language.

Please clarify.
