I still have been looking for literacy stats after 1973. I found this on "The Nation's Report Card":
"Executive Summary: Reading Results for Grade 12
Reading performance declines for all but top performer
The percentage of students performing at or above Basic decreased from 80 percent in 1992 to 73 percent in 2005, and the percentage of students performing at or above the Proficient level decreased from 40 to 35 percent.
Retrieving information from a highly detailed document is an example of the knowledge and skills demonstrated by students performing at the Basic level.
Making a critical judgment about a detailed document and explaining their reasoning is an example of the knowledge and skills associated with students’ performance at the Proficient level."
