Literacy, defined as “age 15 and over that can read and write” was estimated at 99% in the U.S in 2003. Source: CIA World Fact Book. For an indepth look at literacy (defined as “using printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential”) See National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) for details.
