Yes that one is pretty easy. Saber refers to factual knowledge such as I know the words ot a song or I know how to cook pollo en mole rojo. Conocer means to know of or be familiar with such as I know a good auto mechanic.
Just a reminder: try searching through the Q&A archive before you ask a question next time. This one has been covered many times over...
You "saber" facts and set knowledge
Conocer = to be familiar with
Sé escribir = I can write (I have the factual knowledge that allows me to write)
Sé leer = I can read (I have the factual data-like knowledge in my mind that allos me to be able to read)
Conozco ese libro = I'm familiar with that book
conozco esa palabra = I'm familiar with that word
Conozco esa página web = I know/I'm familiar with that site
Conozco a ese hombre = I know that man (you can't "know" that man, but you can "know/be acquainted with" that man)
