Teaching the Child to Read: Practical Studies in Reading MethodThe essential features of this book, and therefore the principal reasons for its appearance, are the following: first, theory and practice are thoroughly integrated, with discussion of the best methodology of teaching reading, followed by reports of actual teaching. Second, provision is made for class, group, and individual study of selected problems, with suggestions for research and discussion at the end of each chapter. Third, the chapters are arranged to follow the chronological order of school grades, as this simplicity makes the material easy for prospective and in-service teachers to use. Fourth, each chapter begins with a statement of the main points treated, and is ended by a brief summary of the central thought discussed by the chapter. It is thus hoped that this material will be of the most use to the largest number of prospective and in-service teachers. |
