The teacher of reading is involved, whether this is consciously realized or not, in the development of a literate society. And every teacher,   1  , needs to determine what level of literacy is  2  by society, what role he or she should take in  3  the desired standard of literacy, and what the implications of literacy are in a world context.

An educational definition – i.e. in terms of grades completed or skills mastered – is shown to be inadequate in  19  educationally defined mastery may bear only minimal relation to the language proficiency needed in coping with environmental demands. From a sociological / economic viewpoint the literacy needs of individuals vary greatly, and any definition must recognize the needs of the individual to engage effectively and to act  20  responsible participation.

Such a broadened definition excludes assessment based on a ‘reading-level type’; assessment must, rather, be flexible to fit both purpose and population.
