Cultural Literacy Tests
Cultural Literacy is about reading... in its widest sense. It is about understanding the
meaning of words based on a background of common knowledge that enables one to make sense of
what is read.
How does one become more culturally literate? By reading more, by reading about
different subjects... when reading becomes a pleasure rather than a chore, one becomes
more culturally literate... naturally. It's a simple fact that the more one reads, the
more one can understand what is read, the more enjoyable reading becomes and... the more
culturally literate one becomes.
To assist our users in assessing their cultural literacy, we have chosen to include
cultural literacy tests created by Diane and Kathy Zahler, from their
Your Cultural Literacy. We think you'll enjoy these stimulating tests
and will learn about yourself and the following subject areas.
