Abstract:	The content of this paper will focus on both language and computer practices and how school age students develop their literacy skills in the two domains of 'language' and 'computers'. The term literacy is a broad concept that has attracted many interpretations over the years. Some of the concepts raised by the literature apply to both language and computer literacy issues. Hence, this paper is intended to review the literature in areas: such as the definitional and conceptual issues of literacy; the development of language literacy (formally assessed in the areas of reading, vocabulary and comprehension) skills, but which also incorporates handwriting practices; computer literacy which applies to the acquisition and development of computer skills, particularly those associated with spelling and grammar checkers; the evolution of computer literacy to include new technological components emerge and interlock in computer usage to encompass Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy and its applications; in conjunction with the revelations of studies relating to computer use of spelling and grammar checkers and educational achievement.
