Definition: the literacy rate is the percentage of adults who can read and write in the language they speak. 1. Write the literacy gap (the difference between literacy rates for male and female adults) in the empty boxes that represent 13 major countries where Islam is the main religion. You can use a map of female literacy to help make your calculation. You can also use a map of average literacy. Since about half the population is male, if male literacy is 8 percent above average, female must be 8 percent below. 2.
