- Literacy is a learning based skill that increases your chance of successfully reading a spellbook or ancient book, as well as decreasing the time required. You may attempt to read any spellbook regardless of your skill level, but failure may result in you being confused, losing all your MP, being randomly teleported, or spawning strong monsters around you. For this reason, it is advised that you attempt to read spellbooks in a wilderness area or portable shelter rather than in your home or a town. Reading while confused may cause you to fail, regardless of your skill.
- A nation's Literacy rate is a measurement of its citizen's education and general thinking skills. Highly literate citizens have more Productivity while illiterate populations have less. Literacy can be improved by most educational policies; Adult Education Subsidies, Faith School Subsidies, Public Libraries, State Schools, Technology Colleges, and University Grants. Likewise, situations that harm a nation's education system - such as a Teachers Strike or Teacher Shortage - will be reflected by reduced literacy rates.

abstract
| - American/English is the official written language of the Coalition.
- A nation's Literacy rate is a measurement of its citizen's education and general thinking skills. Highly literate citizens have more Productivity while illiterate populations have less. Literacy can be improved by most educational policies; Adult Education Subsidies, Faith School Subsidies, Public Libraries, State Schools, Technology Colleges, and University Grants. Likewise, situations that harm a nation's education system - such as a Teachers Strike or Teacher Shortage - will be reflected by reduced literacy rates. High levels of Internet Access will also foster literacy. Low rates of literacy is the primary cause of a national Skills Shortage or being a Technology Backwater and high rates of literacy is a main factor in obtaining a Technological Advantage. In Democracy 2, Literacy was replaced by Education.
- Literacy is a fairly early technology in Civilization games.
- Literacy is a learning based skill that increases your chance of successfully reading a spellbook or ancient book, as well as decreasing the time required. You may attempt to read any spellbook regardless of your skill level, but failure may result in you being confused, losing all your MP, being randomly teleported, or spawning strong monsters around you. For this reason, it is advised that you attempt to read spellbooks in a wilderness area or portable shelter rather than in your home or a town. Reading while confused may cause you to fail, regardless of your skill. Literacy can be temporarily increased by casting divine wisdom or by reading a scroll of knowledge. Some equipment will have the attribute of increasing the Literacy skill, so you should keep those for when reading a difficult spellbook. Reading scrolls will increase your literacy skill; however, scrolls have a set casting level that is unaffected by your literacy skill. Having Literacy as a starting skill prevents the character from starting with 3 potions of cure minor wound. It could be argued that the ability to learn spells is rather useful compared to a few potions. For reasons not fully understood, as your literacy skill increase to higher levels a "floor" value emerges on the literacy potential. Below the floor value, literacy growth slows to a crawl. It is critical to keep one's literacy potential above this floor value as the floor value seems to increase with level. The floor in the 80s were measured at about 85% potential, about 95% in the 90s, and at least 103% potential at 102 literacy skill. This is probably related to some sort of rounding effect applied to the skill gain.
- We need to read, write, and be more creative. We need to inject literacy into our social fabric. To often we have favored a united approach. The union (small "u") mentality is too old-school. We are all in this together. We all need to play well with one another. We all need to be respectful of different points. With serious efforts to read, write, interact and be creative, we can find the best options. Study, concept maps, emails, web investigations and lots of heavy lifting is necessary. Correlation studies show that writting achievement and creativity are linked and that writting achievement and concept mapping connectivitiy are linked. Our schools need to spend more time with writting assignements. But that bogs down the teachers. So, we can use volunteers. We can craft, organize and promote writting contests. Concept mapping provides a reliable framework from which to structure writing. The mayor's office can enhance learning and use our concept maps of a representational technique. We can provide opportunities for developing innovative and educationally valid practices.
