Thinking about Rose’s upbringing with immigrant parents made me think a lot about my own childhood. Growing up with a Finnish mother, I’m sure my experiences with literacy were far different than people who grew up with solely English-speaking parents. Because I was raised speaking Finnish and English, I find an interest in thinking about literacy in the way of speaking multiple languages. With the idea of foreign languages in mind, what does it take for someone to be literate in a different language? We often compare our ability to speak a foreign language in school on a scale from beginner to fluent, but where does literacy come in to the equation? Is literacy only measured in your native tongue?
