ABSTRACT
Efforts to reform reading education in the United States share similar goals with those in the United Kingdom. The digital age is a time when the demands of literacy have increased, for information is more copious and accessible than ever before. Judging the importance of one source over another, choosing what to remember from a source, and using this information in projects and in communication are among the critical literacy proficiencies of the digital age. In both nations, educators and policymakers are engaged in reform efforts to ensure students’ attainment of these literacy proficiencies.
