Abstract
MONAGHAN, E. Jennifer and SAUL, E. Wendy. The Reader, the Scribe, the Thinker: A Critical Look at the History of American Reading and Writing Instruction. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.1, pp.108-141. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v15n1-2016-4.
Historical examples are used to explore the disparity in attention given to reading and writing. Definitions of reading and writing, the relationship of theory and practice, the marketing of curricular materials, and the impact of social and political forces are all seen as factors in understanding change in these fields.
