Excerpt from Silent Reading: A Handbook for Teachers
Much experience in high-school, normal-college, and university classrooms has convinced the authors that the following statements may be verified in any school:
1. The chief cause of failure among first and second-year students is their inability to employ effective methods of study.
2. By using proper methods of training it is possible to improve the study habits of many such students within a short time.
During the last few years there has been much investigation designed to discover the best method of reading effectively, because the ability to do that lies at the bottom of how to study. Such investigations have been concerned with the physiological and psychological aspects of the problem, as well as with the pedagogical principles. As a result of this increased interest in the subject, administrative officers in city school systems are more closely supervising the methods employed to teach reading, and they are also more closely scrutinizing the results obtained. Reading circle boards are also interesting themselves in literature that treats of the teaching of reading.
