âFor perhaps the first time in the history of mass literacy,
writing seems to be eclipsing reading as the literate experience
of consequence. What happens when writing (and not just
reading) becomes the grounds of mass literate experience, when
more and more people âthink about audiencesâ as part of their
daily routine engagement with literacy? How does a social shift
in that and energy toward writing affect the ways that people
develop their literacy and understand its worth? And finally,
how does the ascendant of a writing-based literacy create
tension in a society where institutions organized a reading
literacy, around a presumption that readers would be many and
writers would be few?â
