Welcome

to Literacy Nova Scotia - Nova Scotia's provincial literacy coalition. We have been working to provide a support system for the literacy community in Nova Scotia since 1992.

What is Literacy?

Literacy is the essential skill.

It is the ability to use printed information to function in society, at work and in the family.

It is the combination of thinking and social skills we need to analyze and use information to control our own lives, achieve our goals and develop our knowledge and potential.
