Important Literacy Sponsor

514 Words3 Pages

In this essay, I will argue about how technology is our most important literacy sponsor for our development of literacy. As a young child, my mother always used to forced books on me. Every other day was reading day and I would have to read a book to my mother. I would always look at her and cry because I hated sitting down and opening up a book that was longer than my instruction manual for my video games. Just seeing the book on the table brought frustration to my soul. She would watch me read it out loud and correct me for any mispronunciation I made and then make me repeat the sentence over and over again. The books I read had a lot of words that were being repeated and over time I was able to pronounce it right with a clear voice.

  • Analysis Of Textbooks To Tablets By Dawn Reiss

    In today’s school systems, an important decision must be made in order to determine the future of the students. The decision is whether or not to get rid of textbooks and switch to digital ebooks. Dawn Reiss shares her side of the dispute through an article she wrote from 2013, “Textbooks to Tablets,” which focuses on how having technology in the classroom will create a more efficient learning environment as well as decreased spending on physical books. Her article includes rhetorical appeals that persuasively communicate to the audience. In Reiss’ article, I argue that she successfully supports her claim that ebooks are superior to textbooks by presenting evidence that is aimed towards people involved with education.

  • Summary Of Deborah Brandt's 'Sponsors Of Literacy'

    1509 Words  | 7 Pages

    Deborah Brandt, author of “Sponsors of Literacy,” has spent years studying people’s literacy acquisition across America to analyze trends and differences among them that emerge over time. Across time, Brandt notes consistencies across literacy development: it has sponsors, it is influenced by global conditions, and it adopts various forms. However, within those broad, consistent, overarching themes, there is dramatic variation that emerges with the rise of changing ideology, varying global circumstances, and new technologies. Brandt’s work has allowed me to synthesize the seemingly typical experiences of two average Americans who I recently interviewed in light of trends, patterns, and factors that ultimately contribute to the uniqueness of

    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.

    Introduction “Every school day in the United States for the past decade, more than 3,000 students have dropped out of high school (Joftus), 2000).” This is becoming an epidemic because literacy is simply not just being able to read or write your name. The rigors for the literacy curriculum have become much more complex and require students to be able to comprehend and state their input on different reading texts from a variety of sources. A vast amount of the funds from the federal government has been targeted towards the reading for primary grades. Secondary students such as high school students may find it difficult to transition to a higher reading level because of the complexity.

    Being a reader, I value the benefits of both print and electronic texts. The physical experience of holding a print book provides a level of comfort and focus that is hard to beat, but electronic texts offer convenience, accessibility, and portability. Furthermore, electronic texts allow for text-to-audio conversion, which enables me to keep up with my reading while on the go. My preference for either type of text does not disadvantage my ability to engage critically with academic texts. Rather, it is my reading practices and approach to the material that determines the amount of my engagement in a text.
