My definition of literacy is the ability to read, write and comprehend meaning from language. It's important for children to read books in the classroom because they need to be instructed in the different styles and tones of english, as well as what style of writing is expected when writing a letter/or published article. Its important for them to know the standard of acceptable writing and in what context certain language is used. You would not write an article for the news paper the same way you would an email to your grandma or friend. It is important for kids to learn this when they are educated.

The internet is the future and competantcy using the internet is paramount to a child's success. It is important for kids to be able to use the internet, but it is more important that they learn from an early age what information can be trusted, and where to find objective information. Growing up using the internet on a daily basis can dull daily life, because it lacks the glitz and glamour and action that the internet provides at the touch of the button which is why I believe that although use of the internet is paramount, we still need to focus on traditional forms of classroom education.
