People with Level 3 literacy have the minimum skills necessary for everyday life in a complex society, such as graduation from high school. People with Level 1 literacy have very poor skills; for example, they were unable to determine the correct dose of medication from information on the package. People with Level 2 literacy require material to be simple and clearly laid out, and only tasks that are not too complex are to be included in learning material.
