Yes, many of the poor in Salem, particularly during the early colonial period, learned to read, often through religious instruction. The Puritan emphasis on literacy was driven by the belief that individuals should be able to read The Bible. However, access to formal education varied significantly based on social class and resources, with wealthier families typically having more opportunities for education. Overall, while some poor individuals learned to read, it was not universally accessible.
