Beauty Of Literacy
For many individuals literacy might have been their favorite subject nonetheless, for me that was the contrary. Ever since I could remember I have always struggled with literacy. As a child I would not understand why I was not retaining the information. I would be very hard on myself for not knowing what everyone else already knew. I could not get past the hardships with literacy. However, I had a great support system that influenced me to look beyond the struggles and focus on trying to find the beauty of literacy. I could not have asked for a better support system then the one I have. Starting with my father in giving me the motivation to keep on working hard to achieve my goals. The teachers that did not give up on me because they saw the

    The Sponsors Of Literacy Summary

    In the reading, The Sponsors of Literacy by Deborah Brandt she talks about how literacy was received and withheld from people because of socio-economic classes. Brandt claims that there is a connection between literacy and economic development or as she refers to them as sponsors of literacy which can either help, sensor, or withhold all together the ability to be literate. Literacy provides an upward mobility or at least the means to move upward in social classes and without literacy there is no means to gain an edge. In her interviews of Raymond Branch (European American) and Dora Lopez (Mexican American) Brandt found that even though both were born in the same year and had moved to the same town when they were younger Branch was introduced…

    Why Literacy Is Important Essay

    Reading: somewhere, somehow it is all around us. Everyone learned to read through different methods and sources. As I grew up, education was not a question. I was taught to focus on school and everything else would fall into place. I knew that I would attend college and be given the opportunity to have a great education. However, other people are less fortunate than I have been. Minorities and people living in poverty cannot afford to read books and expand their knowledge. This hurts them as they age and causes them to fall behind in school. Literacy is very important to our culture, as it affects how our country is ran and decisions that are made in state and national offices.…

    My Literacy Journey

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind, and until that day I’d practice my “cursive” one squiggly line at a time.…

    My early literacy experience was not a big of a deal for me at an early age. When I was in school I always took a reading and writing course with a grain of salt, it was just one more class on my schedule. Literature did not really appeal to me in my early experience. I always think that why do I need to take a literature course in order for me to succeed in the future.…

    My Pursuit Of Literacy

    When you hear the word literacy what comes to mind? Do you think of words or school or horrible comprehension tests? When I hear the word literacy none of the above is what comes to my mind. I think of when I was young, no more than five, and I would sit on my grandmother’s warm lap wrapped up in her arms that seemed to protect me from any and everything while she read to me. I think of the struggle and the many trials it took to spell and write my own name, but also relishing in the sense of accomplishment I felt. I think of the times I read along to books my mother would read to my sisters and me until I could read them on my own. Finally, I think of the smiles and proud looks on my parents’ and grandparents’ faces when ever I would show…

    My Literacy Journey

    Growing up in a bilingual household has affected my literacy journey. It affected my Spanish writing because I focused more on English. This course has helped me look at English literacy beyond the point of it being another credit to simply cross off my list. A specific reading from this course that I was able to really retain and relate to was Victor Villanueva's excerpt from Bootstraps: From an Academic of Color. Here he brought up several points that made me think differently about literacy and how it can affect my life now or even after college. “One professor said my writing was too formulaic. One professor said it was to novel. Another wrote: ‘nonsense.’ “ (Villanueva 112) I really like this quote because relating it back to literacy and my college experience ahead of me, it makes me understand that there will be times…

    Over the past four weeks I have created a job aid for one group of employees at my current employer. The job aid is meant to help the employees prioritize their daily tasks as well as understand exactly what the expectations of their position are. I have spent several hours observing the employees currently filling the helping hands role and comparing it to what our current training manual says as well as the information I have learned in class. Through class discussions, assignments and observations I have found many aspects of my original plan that needed to be altered. Once I completed my final outline I thought I would quickly throw together my final draft and once again found myself making changes. When considering the elements of design and conveying a message it can be difficult to decide on the BEST WAY.…
