Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classic medieval worlds,
while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth
century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a
distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it
became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of
readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read
aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity
in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other
readers.
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for
information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way
mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old
shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and
periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading
skills which were inappropriate, it not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in
