Therefore, Fredrick Douglass
the word “literacy” actually mean? Literacy is defined as “the ability to read and write.” This is suitably how I would define literacy too. Just like the whole world, I also have had a very long and exciting literacy life. My literacy life started when I was a little baby and is continuing on now with this essay.

Rasinski and Padak (1998) present moving arguments for creating passion and heart in culturally responsive education through the use of multicultural literature.
