I have had many literacy sponsors throughout my life. My teachers have been huge literacy sponsors in my life. I mostly learnt how to write in Preschool when we were made to trace out alphabets to practice our writing and in turn, they were getting paid for what they did. This is not really related to my life but I have heard a lot of people getting paid internships to learn something like coding or graphic design and in turn work for the respective companies when they have gained the skill set. I think social media can be considered a huge literacy sponsor because people learn to use apps such as Snapchat and Instagram which can be used as another form of texting and in turn the founders gain more popularity and make more money. If you think about it, food manufacturers could also be considered a literacy sponsor. You can buy food from them to keep yourself healthy and full and in turn they get more money to make more food. College is another literacy sponsor because we pay thousands of dollars to get a degree from a university and in turn colleges make sure they set us in the path of a career.
