?The New Literacy is based on research but filled with common sense, cutting through much of the fog of current educational reform rhetoric. Using scholarship, interviews with real people, and current events, authors Morris and Tchudi weave a compelling argument and offer practical solutions to one of the most serious issues facing American education.? —Leila Christenbury, editor, The English Journal
?Too much of the discussion of literacy in the past has been limited, being either naive, negative, or nostalgic. Morris and Tchudi provide a valuable corrective by being expansive, inclusive, and realistic. For teachers, parents, and concerned citizens, this book will be a vital starting point for sane, sensible, and practical approaches to achieving the new literacy in all its manifestations.? —Robert L. Root Jr., professor of English, Central Michigan University
