functional illiterate
A functional illiterate refers to a person who has basic literacy skills but whose reading and writing skills are inadequate for ordinary daily needs or for completing tasks necessary for functioning in society. In other words, they have literacy level below that needed to effectively manage and understand certain aspects of life such as completing job applications, reading road signs, understanding written instructions, or reading a newspaper. It's also important to note that functional illiteracy may pertain to not just written language but also to numbers (numeracy).
