The International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS) provides a picture of how effectively adults use literacy skills in daily life.

In this PowerPoint presentation, the author analyses the findings of the 2003 IALSS as they relate to Canada’s performance. Among the areas examined are the level of literacy proficiency across Canada’s provinces and territories; how provinces and territories compare nationally and internationally; the relative performance of Canada’s Anglophone and Francophone populations; and the implications of the findings for literacy policy and programming.

Much of the information is presented in graphs and charts, with accompanying notes that provide further analysis and explanation.
