Tom suggested The New Copy Book from D&AD website. Need to log in to see the briefs, but will sign up.
Janine suggests research into the opinion that social media means that children are actually writing more now than ever before to use as a counter argument to what I have so far.
I have found the National Literary Trust's paper titled 'Young People's writing: Attitudes, behaviours and the role of technology. A study on 3001 9-16 year old school children, 75% of young people said they wrote regularly; 82% said they text messaged at least once a month, 73% wrote instant messages (such as AIM or MSN) and 63% wrote on a social networking site.

It's conclusion was that children who blog or use facebook have higher literacy levels.
