Inhaltsangabe

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.
