Deterioration Of Literature: Technology Is Not The
Only Cause To This Destruction
Some students enter secondary school without the proper skills and knowledge their
teachers expect them to already know
...
When students feel they
are faced with a challenge they usually turn to technology for help before looking in a
book
...
In most families both
parents are working which may cause stress within the family life
...
(Kropp, 47) Schools
now have higher achievement expectations of students now compared to when their
parents were in school which can cause great stress and failure from falling behind so
they may be tested for a learning disability
...
(Galloway) Although technology is clearly not the main reason for the
deterioration of literacy in our society even though many people blame it to be
...
They teach us the basic skills we need to
be able to function when first starting school
...
This can make it
somewhat hard to tell if the child is not at the skill level they should be at because they

are not around others their own age
...

(Kropp, 47) "The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation" This does not
become a huge issue until students enter grades 1- 3 and beyond because at this stage
they can permanently be held back
...
(Kropp, 114) During the first
few grades of elementary school children are taught to recognize words and be able to
read simple grade level appropriate pieces
...
Once children
reach secondary school they are expected to be able to read and understand any passage
their teacher provides them with but in reality they do not underhand it or sometimes
even know the words
...
(Tovani, 20) "They expect them to know how to read, to
read faster, than they did in elementary school, to read large amounts of text in short
amounts of time, to gain information by reading, and to read and understand increasingly
difficult material" (Tovani, 20) As Johann Wolfgang van Goethe once said "The decline
of literature indicates the decline of a nation"
...
" (Kropp, 47) Children are very sensitive to
their surrounding environments
...
Divorces can cause a steady

decline in their schoolwork and reading for about six months
...
Sometimes these issues can bring upon a rebellious period in
the child's life
...
(Kropp, 47) These
issues can cause depression from feeling like a failure which causes a chemical
imbalance in the brain
...
Once the a side becomes dominant parents should expect to seen
improvement in their child's work and reading because the brain is no longer jumping
back and forth between dominance
...

Statistics Canada did a survey of students who have been in school within the last five
years as of 2012 who either had an unidentified learning disability and those who had an
identified learning disability
...
Students who had an unidentified learning disability were more likely to
say that technological devices were the most beneficial to them and that a modified
course curriculum was least beneficial but they cannot have an accommodated course
curriculum since they are unidentified
...
Students with difficulty in mathematics and reading
usually have a poor memory which can help professionals indicate what sort of help
would be most beneficial to them
...
(Gathercole, 53) Schools want to make sure that everyone
feels included so they have accommodated textbooks to be able to be understood by
almost any level of reader within the school
...
"Charlie Skyes concludes that these "faddish
techniques for teaching reading" have produced "a generation of illiterates"
...

(Galloway) Expectations of employees has gone up but the intelligence of employees
has gone down since schools are trying to make everyone feel that they are at an equal
level of intelligence but this holds back the students with high potential since they are not
being challenged
...
Parents need to pay more
attention and involve themselves more in their child's development of literacy skills and
learning to read
...

Parents also need to remember that their children are sensitive to their environment and
they must be conscious of this because it is directly relates to their literacy skills and
development
...
