Synopsis :

How children learn to read and why good teaching matters, explained in clear, student-friendly terms. This book dives into the purpose of reading in the classroom, the core functions of reading aloud and silent reading, and how to guide students from recognizing symbols to gaining real understanding. It also looks at the deeper goals of reading—developing taste for literature, imagination, and self‑culture—while offering practical guidance for teachers on physiology, psychology, and pedagogy of reading.

You’ll find a practical roadmap for classroom reading, from setting aims and choosing subjects to managing the teaching of phonics, oral reading, and silent reading. The text discusses common teaching challenges, such as correcting habitual mispronunciations, motivating students, and selecting methods that balance literary content with reading mechanics. It also surveys different approaches used in the intermediary grades and the evolution of reading instruction over time.

• Clear goals for reading in the classroom and how they guide daily instruction


• Foundations of how reading works in the brain and with the eyes, plus voice and meaning


• Strategies for phonics, pronunciation, and correcting errors with steady practice


• Insights into teaching reading across early years and intermediary grades

Ideal for teachers, reading specialists, and students of education who want a grounded overview of reading instruction and its best practices.

Présentation de l'éditeur: The author feels impelled to set forth the purpose and the scope of this volume, lest the student of education in search of new theories and experimentations in the physiology and the psychology of reading, be led astray. This book is given solely to the task of aiding teachers, who are seeking a method that has stood the pragmatic test, and that may, therefore, help them in their days work. The author acknowledges his indebtedness to the large number of teachers from whose methods of instruction, he has gleaned much that is practical in this volume.
