In
Intelligence Reframed Howard Gardner contends that "literacies, skills, and disciplines ought to be pursued as tools that allow us to enhance our
understanding of important questions, topics, and themes." Today's readers become literate by
learning to read the
words and symbols in today's world and its antecedents. They analyze, compare, evaluate and interpret multiple representations from a variety of disciplines and subjects, including texts, photographs, artwork, and data. They learn to
choose and modify their own communication based on the
rhetorical situation.
Point of view is created by the reader, the audience and the medium.
