In hierdie moderne eeu waarin ons onsself bevind, is belesenheid 'n norm waaraan die mens gemeet word. Hoe meer gevorderd 'n samelewing raak, hoe belangriker raak leesvaardighede, juis omdat gevorderde tegnologie verhoogde vlakke van opleiding vereis waarin doeltreffende lees 'n kardinale rol speel. Ontwikkeling op verskeie gebiede is dus direk afhanklik van die mens se vermoë om doeltreffend te lees.
Charters 1941 - Reading is man’s most potent skill. Without it his world is circumscribed by his neighbours. All he learns is what he picks up in conversations, information garbled in its transmission, delayed by the slow seepage of news through word of mouth... the world of newspapers, books, magazines and bulletins is closed against him by the massive walls of ignorance. Reading is the keystone of the arch of intelligence that the schools have been established to construct.
