Abstract
Literacy is commonly understood as the ability to read and write. In the last century, theorists have expanded this definition of literacy. To understand these multiple perspectives of literacy, especially regarding children, the following topics are covered: the history of literacy, literacy as a human right, developments in literacy theories, language variations and bi- and multi-literacies, instruction and assessment, and further readings.
