The 'clues' that identify Gianna's innately weak literacy skills are her poor word identification skills and limited vocabulary. If Gianna simply had problems reading aloud to the class, it might be assumed this was due to a lack of self-confidence. However, her skill deficits are manifest even in non-oral work, although both her oral and written comprehension seems to be well below grade level. Combined with an unsupportive environment at home, an intervention seems warranted to improve word recognition, vocabulary, and poor reading comprehension strategies. It is essential to address the components that affect reading fluency as well as the issue itself in a more holistic fashion.

Having a focus before beginning a writing project is essential to provide clarity and direction to the assignment. Also, the teacher will want to ensure that certain critical skills are reinforced within the assignment structure, so providing a formal lecture conveys the seriousness of the assignment: it is not simply a 'fun' activity but has a clear purpose. Giving in-class writing time ensures that students take the time to brainstorm, revise a draft, and devote the necessary time to learning this critical skill. Finally, sharing reinforces the pleasures of writing and further sharpens the focus of students, given the knowledge that they have an audience which they must reach. Performing for classmates also acts as an additional incentive to do well, given the student's natural desire for peer approval.

However a very important thing I should mention is the existence of big gaps in adolescent literacy achievement in high school, as I noted above, but, the gap was also defined as the disparity in White and Black students' achievement and in richer and poorer
In a world that favors early adopters and revolves around the latest technology, individuals will be better served if they continue to seek out learning opportunities after their formal education has ended. Local governments and communities should provide these opportunities through libraries, universities and community centers. The skills gap applies to all. Conclusion Although people are defined by their different skill sets and this diversity enhances the richness of life in
(Eljamal; Stark; Arnold; Sharp, 1999) To conclude, it be said that if we will not be able to master imparting the capability to think in a developed form, our profession, as well as perhaps our world, would be influenced and taken over by someone who would be able to outsmart us to find it out. We would in that case not only remain thinking as to what happened but would
" With regards to student multiple-skill development, Kellner proposes that computers should be at the center stage of learning. Students should be able to not only operate the computer but also use it to gather data from the Internet, communicate across classrooms and cultural boundaries. He argues that computers should be used dramatically to transform the circulation of knowledge, images, and other modalities of different cultures. Not only presence but also
The other sector of life where information literacy is vital and omnipresent is the career field. It is not simply a matter of preference or choice.
