Mrs. Walker feels literacy in society has semi-declined and notices that there is not
much reading at home from what she notices from the students who attends the
school she works at. Some students may see texting as a form of literacy but in her
opinion she feels it hinders their learning of grammar and proper speaking of
English. Texting may be easier to communicate with their peers, but not being able
to communicate with adults at the same
level. Back in high school literacy was not
dominated by technology. She was asked to
read all the time in her classes and they did
a lot of current events and did several
readings in periodicals, magazines,
newspapers etc. As a high school student
she admitted to not appreciating reading like
she does now because she does read for fun
now and she does not have much time
during the school year but she does try to
catch up during the summer. Though, during the school year she mainly reads
newspapers to keep up with the current events although it is not fun her she feels
she does need to keep up with what is going on in the world.

Ms. Smith stated that literacy’s role in education has made a different turn and the
influences of all technology has changed our dependency and the drive for students
to depend upon technology instead of using their
knowledge for reading and writing. In Ms Smith
everyday literacy she works on speech and
articulation with children and has a visual and a
word to go along with it to help children enhance
their vocabulary and better their speech.
