Literacy is a complex topic with no agreed upon definition. There have been many attempts to define literacy but none have achieved consensus. The document proposes that literacy can be understood as comprising smaller "literacies", which are groups of words and phrases used for specific fields or purposes. It outlines a project that will examine the "literacy identities" of three sisters by identifying the individual literacies that make up each sister's overall literacy identity and how they acquired these literacies, based on interviews. The project aims to show how one's environment, friends and experiences shape their literacy identity.

I believe that the ability to read, write, and understand the written word can be broken up into smaller groups. I call these little subgroups literacies. A literacy is a group of words or phrases that are used for a specific field or purpose. For instance an equine literacy would include all words and phrases relating to equine. Including coat colors such as palomino and dun, and diseases such as colic and founder.

Literacy is an extremely complex subject. There have been numerous efforts to define literacy and "each of these efforts has identified important parameters of literacy, but none has yet won consensual agreement." (Scribner) My belief is that each person has their own literacy identity. A literacy identity is a grouping of all ones literacies and a literacy is simple a group of words that are all associated with a similar subject. In order to have a particular literacy in a literacy identity the person must understand the words associated with that literacy and know how to use them intelligently. For my project I will dive into the literacy identities of three sisters from a small town in Northern Michigan. It will compare the literacy identities of the three sisters by showing each girls literacy identities. Once the literacy Identity is established for each girl the individual literacies included in their literacy identity will be explained. Also how the individual may have obtained each literacy will also be included in the project. All of the required information was obtained through multiply interviews taken with the three individuals. This project is meant to show that an individuals environment, friends, and past experiences have a great effect on their literacy identity.
