The definition of “literacy” is evolving in the 21st century. Not only does it involve fluency in reading and writing, but it also implies an ability to think critically about a variety of texts and communicate increasingly complex ideas. These skills will be put to the test with the new Common Core State Standards being rolled out in more than 40 states.
