him read? Can you think of ways that writing helped you become a
better reader?
A particular role for writing that accounts for his literary education is his role
in prison and what he did in that prison. He said he wrote down every word
and its definition in the dictionary. It both helped him understand words
better, so he became a better reader, and it helped with his writing and
penmanship. The only time that I can think writing helped me become a
better reader was when I was writing poetry. I always tried to convey these
obscure and complex emotions through short and simple sentences. This
writing opened up my mind to different meanings in readings that I did and
taught me to think of some tings out of the box instead of just taking it for
the straightforward meaning.
Sponsors of Literacy
Framing the Reading
People dont become literate on their own.
Literacy is sponsored by other people, institutions, and
circumstances.
Not all sponsors open doors to literacy. Some sponsors are self
interested and only care about literacy that pertains to their own goals.
Sponsors can be anyone or anything that has influenced literacy.

literacy for the print apprentices.
Adversely the steam press ended a form of literacy and dropped the
literate potential.
Literacy was a large component of profit and competition during the
20th century.
People became more literate about the market and the economy
during the time.
The continually growing pace of communication and technology is an
issue for literacy during modern times.
Literacy is directly correlated to sponsors.
Sponsorship

students.

their children.
