“Literacy has typically been viewed as a yes-and-no matter, easily determined: either one reads and writes or one doesn't. And put in such terms, the goal of education is to produce a society of people who are equally competent at these skills.

“Yet when I talk with fellow teachers about whether students are or are not readers, I think we are talking about a specific kind of reading” -Why Johnny Can Never, Ever Read
