¶ … literacy before ENG115
The way I understood literacy before the literacy class was majorly in three major sections, the ability to write correctly, ability to think before I spoke and ability to comprehend.
Writing correctly; was perceived as the ability to put down the content on paper in the correct grammar.
Ability to think before speaking; I considered this the capacity to contemplate the consequences of the words that I would speak before speaking them out.
Ability to read and comprehend; this was considered the capacity to take up material, read it and know exactly what it is talking about. These were the three perceptions that shaped my understanding of literacy before the ENG 115 class.
Newly developed definition of literacy (how/why it has changed)
After attending the full course class of literacy, there are changes that I had in perception of literacy and these included.
Using correct grammar was highlighted as a significant part of literacy and not only writing correctly that counted in literacy, right grammar was inevitable.
Annunciating correctly was also highlighted as the ability to speak the words as they should be spoken and pronounced and this was clarified in the ENG115 class to be more important that just thinking before speaking and even speaking.
Execution of grammar was yet another important part of literacy that ENG 115 taught me. Proper execution of grammar helps in avoiding distortion of message in the process of communication due to lack of ability to execute grammar as it should be (Jamea Paul...
2014).
This is how the ENG 115 classes reshaped the initial perspective I had on literacy hence significant for my Business Management major.
Section II
I. Professional and Career Development
Literacy lessons care instrumental in my field of profession as a business manager since it can be use in the following areas;
a). Professional presentation -- in the business management process, there will be several presentations to be made. The contemporary presentation will not only require spoken word but the written slides that will be projected on the wall. This means, apart from getting to know how to use language well, there is need to follow the rules of grammar and have proper annunciation during the professional presentation, otherwise the professionals may lose interest in the presentation or it may have no intended effect.
b). Career development- this is the second aspect that comes with the ENG115 course. The ascending to higher levels of the business management can only be made to have a higher probability of success if the continued correspondence adheres to the rules of literacy in English rather than when the potential employer finds fault in your correspondences.
II. Professional Training
a). Training development-There will also be the need to use the literacy skills that acquired from the ENG 115 to develop content and conduct professional training as a manager in…

Literacy Coaching: Elementary Grades Learning to read and write begins early in children's development, long before they enter kindergarten. Moreover, literacy skill development in early childhood provides the foundation for children's long-term academic success. Over the past two decades, researchers have identified key emergent literacy skills that develop progressively in children during their preschool years and are highly predictive of later success in learning to read (Elish-Piper, 2011). These skills include
Roskos (2004) contradicts that in their article becasuse they explain how wonderful early literacy has become with getting new technology but forgets to mention that only schools that have the money are able to have theses luxuries. The article is misleading because it makes it appear as though all school have all the proper tools they need when it comes to assessments and that simply is not true. (Boudreau,
A greater literacy lets us act as a guide to others, lets us grow ourselves from knowledge into wisdom -- it can even let us interpret reality without empirical data: for by learning the letter of the laws of nature, we are able to understand the ways in which nature and world conduct their affairs -- without forever being reliant upon the tables and stats of men.

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
However although the authors say that "the first section provides a brief overview of research on learning difficulties in the middle-school years" (p. 222), the discussion of the research itself could have been more in-depth, beyond only mentioning a general conclusion of the findings by only a few researchers, with perhaps more recent research studies beyond 2005.

The R.E.A.D. program was founded by an existing Animal-Assisted Therapy nonprofit group, Intermountain Therapy Animals, that had years of experience bringing the benefits of animals to people in need. More than eighty articles have been published about the R.E.A.D. program, including popular media such as the Wall Street Journal, Time, Parenting, and Our Children (the official publication of the National PTA), as well as scholarly sources such as a book
