I Have a question. When He said that they Couldn't Read books then How can they Read when Montag went to Read the books he had been keeping in the AIR CONDITIONG ??????????

I taught 451 and in it, it states that the firemen still use books with which to learn ab out fire and fighting fire, so it's implied that people still know how to read, albeit not very effectively. It's also implied by how slowly Montag first reads that he is teaching himself how to read more effectively.
