The case study in which I felt that related to my own personal experiences involving literacy was Danielle DeVoss. Not only is a she from a middle class, Midwestern family like I am but like Danielle I also grew up with reading being an avid part of my life. I have home videos of me dating back to when I was three years old reading small story books. Also my mom would take us to the library at least once a week to pick out a book to read for the week. Every night we had an hour dedicated to reading. Whether it was a novel from school and an educational magazine, my Dad would make us read for an hour every night. Danielle’s parents push to go to summer reading programs and their large support for reading in general reminds me of the way my parents treated reading growing up. Every night still in my parents house my Dad and Mom read on the couch. I can also relate to Danielle’s scenario because she received a computer around the age of 10 and that is very close to the age that my parents brought one home. She is said to be extremely web literate and because I have grown up a computer being a part of my life, I would say I can be extremely web literate as well.
