Out with the Old in with the New

Sponsors of Literacy: Claudia

How is literacy successful on its own? Can we separate evaluate literacy as an individual rather than seeing it as an economical development? How does literacy differ from individual to individual? Does socio economic standing affect the way we attain literacy? There are many factors as to how we individually develop literacy. Due to, the variety of our backgrounds no one person learns literacy in the same way. We all acquire it differently and when we all come together into society, we are in different levels and have different attributes to offer.

In order, to individualize literacy we need to explore what factors play a fact into it. One is the influence of sponsors. Sponsors “are a tangible reminder that literacy learning throughout history has always required permission, sanction, assistance, and coercion, at minimum, contact with existing trade routes. Sponsors are delivery systems for the economies of literacy, the means, by which these forces present themselves to and though individual learners” (556). Hence, through sponsorship we can witness how the equilibrium of literacy is unbalanced.
