Literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to read, spell and communicate through written language. However, in a more general sense, literacy is more than just the ability to read or write.

Most parents and children are so engaged in watching movies, television and adapted to computer games that they find little or no time for reading. Likewise, those who have developed reading as a hobby are mindful of the uncountable advantages linked with it. Reading increases the thinking horizon of a person, improves vocabulary and supports understanding towards people of different cultures.
Current literature is extremely diverse and includes a broad range of areas that prepare children for their future interactions. Well-chosen literature needs to be just as diverse to meet the growing need for digital and multimedia literature. As our society develops, so does our reliance on technology and technology based communication. (n.d.)
2.1 How reading literature increases language
The author utilize people and data to support the drop-off in reading among teens because of technology. Ludden bring in two teenagers to say why they don’t read. The author provides a parent to show the impact of technology on a 10 year-old. In the article it talks about social media “10 year old...less reading..more attached to digital media platform.” (Ludden.1) and “many distraction on the internet.”
Today, texting has become the most widely used communication technique for teenagers and young adults. It is written in completely informal language and it has no literature value in it. Although the critics believe texting is destroying literature value, McWhorter has another opinion in mind. McWhorter thinks that texting is another form of language that is developed by teenagers. It is the creation of a brand new language evolving from the old literature.
Because, nowadays, e-readers are developed enough, her article could play an important role in making e-readers a significant tool for education. Moreover, the author is motivated to write the article as the number of the articles which discuss the impact of e-reader on reading practice of children is low. In addition to choosing the right time, Larson shows credibility in her article because of her experience as an instructor in the field of learning technologies. Furthermore, the case study, which is done by the author, makes the information believable. Also, the author is fair and respectful by not attacking people who read printed books to show the pros of e-reader.
On the other hand, Clive Thompson’s article, “The New Literacy”, takes the stance that technological advancements benefit our lives. She exemplifies this by focusing primarily on the benefits of technological advancements throughout her article. One instance of this would be her use of statistics from the Stanford Study of Writing. “For Lunsford, technology isn’t killing our ability to write. It’s reviving it- and pushing our literacy in bold new direction” (Thompson, Paragraph 3).
The link between literacy and technology”, Schmar-Dobler states that the nature of literacy is changing to include the type of reading strategies used to read both
Personal Literacy Narrative Reading and writing is a tool everybody needs in their lifetime the basic reading and writing skills are used on a daily base no matter what field you plan to study. Reading and writing are taught at a young age. I personally was taught by preschool I noticed on how I grew with my writing and how I became a better reader and writer throughout my life I personal love reading and writing it’s a way for everyone to express themselves through their choice of words. Everybody learns how to read and write differently some students tend to be stronger than others, personally speaking I feel I tend to be higher in reading then writing.
My relationship with literacy has been a journey all on its own. From learning how to sound out letters and words, to reading my first sentence , I have developed quite a valuable foundation and platform, that will eventually guide me to success. I have had the pleasure of experiencing a love that just continues to blossom. A love that will never fail, nor will I fail it. This love that I speak of is my passion for reading, writing and literacy as a whole.
Literacy has applied over the course of my education and my life. As an education major, I believed that literacy was an ability to learn how to read and write. Furthermore, literacy has been a part of my education. I have come to an understanding that literacy is a lot more than what it seems. It’s about expressing yourself that includes your opinions and feelings.
The history of my literacy has been a long road of a frustration and learned lessons. As a child, I was a bit of a loner so reading and writing were the closest thing to a social life for me. The things that I bottled up inside came out through my writing and it became somewhat of a pass time for me. As long I could remember literacy as has been an important value for me in my life because from very young age I got express my true self without being judged by the outside. Even though in my later years I would deal with some heartaches and set back that lead me to give up on my love for reading.
Journal Entry #1: Why Read? In the essay, “Why Read?” the author illustrates the meaning of reading and the benefits reading brings through the roles readers may play. To begin, the first task of readers discussed in this piece is to preserve literature’s content.
My Journey to Literacy As kids we are taught literacy without knowing it. Our parents or teachers have sat down with us and helped us write out our letters, sound out words, and form sentences. We were all given crayons at restaurants and a piece of paper that had fun games, cartoons, and tic tac toe. There are few people who have not learned to read and write, or have learned in a different way or at an older age.
The layout shows the reader the development of literacy theories from Early Theories and Models Applicable to Reading through the 21st century. It was interesting to see some of the theories overlapping each other and some of the theories were developed upon by other scholars. For example, the Schema Theory was developed further by Louise Rosenblatt’s Transactional Theory. Background of Authors
The latest edition of Dr. Spack - "revised and fully expanded for a new century" as the cover reports - has this to say of video games: "The best that can be said of them is that they may help promote eye-hand coordination in children. The worst that can be said is that they sanction, and even promote aggression and violent responses to conflict. But what can be said with much greater certainly is this: most computer games are a colossal waste of time." But where reading is concerned, the advice is quite different: "I suggest you begin to foster in your children a love of reading and the printed word from the start.... What is important is that your child be an avid
Children’s literature is the body of written works and accompanying illustrations produced inorder to entertain and instruct young people. The fundamental goal of children’s literature is to instruct and entertain. It covers various diverse themes such as mystery, fantasy and war. Some themes are discernible to the young reader, whereas some are more likely to be understood by an adult reader.

Everyone knows that reading is important, but have you ever asked yourself why is that so? Reading is one of the most beneficial and practical activities that a human being can do.

As we know, books were the main source of entertainment centuries ago, but with the widespread of technological advances such as the cinema, television, internet, among others, many people left their books on the bookshelf.
