Able to read and write!

What word means “able to read and write”? To get the answer, you’ll need to solve the puzzle on this page. To begin, look at the word chart below. Only one of the three words next to each noun in boldface is a type of that noun. Circle it, then write it in the grid where it belongs. You’ll know where to write the word because its last letter already appears in the grid. Write across using one letter per box. (The words won’t fill every box in the row.) When you’re done, you’ll have your answer in the column down the center of the puzzle!
