What is literacy research?

Literacy research is the study of how people acquire, develop, and use reading and writing skills across different ages, cultures, and contexts. Researchers in this field investigate factors that influence literacy development, such as teaching methods, language backgrounds, and social environments. The goal is to improve educational practices, inform policy decisions, and support learners with diverse needs. Literacy research often involves both qualitative and quantitative methods to better understand how literacy impacts individuals and communities.
