Aujourd'hui, on distingue cinq niveaux de littératie; l'alphabétisation correspondrait au premier niveau et la littératie fonctionnelle au second niveau; la littératie académique viendrait en troisième lieu suivie des niveaux de littératie critique et créatrice.

Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, littératie n'est pas un anglicisme. Tout comme son correspondant anglais «literacy», son origine est latine.
