Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace (phổ biến). One shouldbe wary (thận trọng), however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud wasa distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading haverevealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselveschanged in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number ofreaders. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there wassome reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so camethe 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 stillconsiderable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and overwhether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, thisargument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culturehad gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for aspecialised readership (độc giả đặc biệt) on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, students werebeing recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if notimpossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatlyaltered what the term “reading” implied.
