Abstract

Based on the definition of literacy levels and their specification in various categories, as well as the reading and writing practices of university students, this research was carried out with a sample of 1362 students from the different UAA centers. The results are striking in that most of the students reach the level of basic literacy and many others (35%) fall within functional literacy. These data should lead university professors to reflect on the need to work on the development and improvement of students' reading and writing skills.
