Reading-----Its History and Methods of Teaching
Abstract
It is obvious how essential a subject reading is. It is not only the most important subject in the elementary school curriculum, but also the most troublesome. It is so essential since it is a tool subject, mastery of which is necessary to the learning of nearly every other subject ; most troublesome since children fail more frequently in this subject than in any other elementary subject.Since so much of our information and culture is derived through this medium, it is our aim to-day to inculcate such reading habits that will create an ardent love for this subject. We want the children to read and read, because they wish to do so voluntarily. Reading originally as taught was boresome because the content was so unappealing and the method of learning so slow and uninteresting.
