Literacy - speaking, listening, reading and writing skills - is fundamental for life, work, active citizenship, digital inclusion and lifelong learning. Literacy skills can contribute to finding, sustaining and progessing within work, and are key to intergenerational learning.

NIACE is particularly concerned that good quality literacy-learning is available to adults regardless of their status, disability or learning difficulty, age race or ethnicity, including adults with skills at entry level 2 and below.

Our work on literacy development is usually a part of wider literacy, language and numeracy or workplace learning projects, because literacy is integral to so many other aspects of learning.
