Aliteracy is often referred to as the practice of being able to read, but choosing not to. This behavior can be seen in both adults and children, and it can be concerning, especially if it occurs frequently. However, there are several other terms that can be used interchangeably with aliteracy, including "non-reading," "passive reading," "book aversion," and "reading avoidance." Each of these synonyms can convey a slightly different nuance to the behavior in question, but all refer to a reluctance to engage with written texts in a meaningful way. Regardless of the term used, addressing aliteracy is important to promote literacy and learning in today's world.
