Illiteracy can be considered a disability if it is the result of a learning disability or other physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as reading, learning or communicating.

Reading/learning specialists plan, teach, and evaluate instruction for students having difficulty with reading or writing. Literacy coordinator evaluate, develop, and lead, or collaborate with other educators or community groups to lead, a school’s or district’s literacy program.

Illiteracy affects all areas of life. Those with low literacy skills are far more likely to live in poverty, face health problems because they can’t read prescription labels or instructions, and grow isolated in a world increasingly dependent on computers.

According to the Literacy Foundation, the most frequent causes of illiteracy in adults are having parents with little schooling, lack of books at home and lack of reading stimulation as a child, dropping out of school, difficult living conditions including poverty, and learning disabilities. They can’t get books.

A person is functionally illiterate who cannot engage in all those activities in which literacy is required for effective functioning of his group and community and also for enabling him to continue to use reading, writing, and calculation for his own and the community’s development (UNESCO, 1978, p. 183).”

You can describe a person unable to read or write as illiterate. If you’re illiterate, you won’t be able to participate. Illiterate, from the Latin illiteratus “unlearned, ignorant,” can describe someone unable to read or write, but it can also imply that a person lacks cultural awareness.

Depending on the potential of the illiterate person I’d say 6 months to 3 years based on my experience with most people even the most learning challenged readers. How far they could master reading skills of course could greatly vary according to ability.

Types of illiteracy include functional, cultural, informational, healthcare, financial and emotionalilliteracy.

There are (of course) conflicting opinions about exactly how many English diphthong sounds there are ranging from 8 to 10. According to Daniel Jones there are 10 English diphthong sounds, according to J. D. O’Connor there are 9 and according to A. C. Gimson there are 8 English diphthong sounds.

For example, the diphthong of the “y” in “try” is pronounced as a one syllable vowel “ie”. When adding –ed to the word “try,” the word is spelled “tried.” But, the word is pronounced “trieed” with the double “ee” as a long “e” sound.

By definition and sound structure, diphthongs are a combination of two separate vowel sounds that, when uttered, the first vowel glides onto the second vowel forming a single syllable, as heard in /aɪ, aʊ, eɪ, oʊ, ɔɪ/. By nature, diphthongs happen to be long vowels.

• this, feather, then.
• /ng/ ng, n.
• sing, monkey, sink.
• /sh/ sh, ss, ch, ti, ci.
• ship, mission, chef, motion, special.
• /ch/
• ch, tch. chip, match.
• /zh/

A diphthong is a glide from one vowel to another that takes place within one syllable. For example, the vowel sound in “hour” glides from “ah” to “oo.” A diphthong is not always represented in the spelling of a word. The vowel sound in “fire” glides from “ah” to “ee.”

A, E, I, O, U, Y, and, as we’ll see, W, are called vowels, but let’s get technical. They are symbols (letters) that represent a special type of speech sound called a vowel. According to phoneticians, a vowel is a speech sound that is made without significant constriction of the flow of air from the lungs.
