Basic skills in reading and writing are a prerequisite for participating actively in and meeting the challenges of working life and community life today.

• Level 1 comprises the absolute basic decoding and spelling skills needed to be able to read, understand and write words and simple texts in everyday life. The reading process is in focus on this level.
• Level 2 describes the competence needed to be able to read and write coherently, fluently and relatively quickly. Some will still struggle with a somewhat weak understanding on this level.
• Level 3 comprises the skills needed to handle various types of texts at work and in society in general.

A person having the literacy skill for a language is literate in the language (both in the Ens Dictionary).
