Adult literacy means that a person over the age of 21 can read at a standard 5th grade level--about the level at which most newspapers are written. Currently, about 26 million adult Americans are unable to read at this level.

First of all, being young isn't an excuse for anything. You can find the definition of adult literacy in so many places. Did you even attempt to Google it?
However, I'll answer your question anyway. Adult literacy is basically a fancy term for adults who can read. An adult literacy rate is the percentage of adults who can read (usually in a given nation). Such rates are usually a measure of a nation's educational systems.
