Illiterate means unable to read and write.

Adult literacy programs try to help people who somehow made it through the educational system without learning these basics.

The word is also used to indicate a person is not well-versed in a particular subject. If someone is a Science Fiction illiterate, they don't know or appreciate the genre. If someone is technologically illiterate, they probably need help sending email or accessing voice mail.
It means that a person is not able to read and write.
Someone who is illiterate - is a person that cannot read, or understand the meanings of words. Often they cannot write legible sentences either.
