Excerpt from Teaching to Read
There is no other subject in which the results have been so unsatisfactory as in reading, considering the amount of time devoted to it in school. The chief reason for the failure has been that the aim has been to train the race to read aloud instead of training it to read. The power of reading well means the power of getting thought from visible language rapidly, definitely and comprehensively. Very nearly all reading has to be done silently, yet in the past, the aim of the schools has been to train pupils to read aloud. Tested by the power of their pupils as a whole to read well aloud, or to read well silently, the work of the schools has been a lamentable failure.
The teachers of the past believed that the way to train a child to be a good silent reader was to train him to read aloud. The reverse is true. The true way to make both good oral readers and good readers is to begin by making good silent readers.
The aim in the past was to train pupils to read slowly; the true aim is to train them to read as fast as possible. The man who reads only two pages in the time in which he should be able to read three pages is handicapped for life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book revolutionizes the way we approach reading instruction. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on teaching children to read aloud, hindering their silent reading comprehension and natural ability to express themselves. The author posits that prioritizing silent reading fosters rapid, accurate, and comprehensive thought acquisition. By establishing a solid foundation in word recognition and thought extraction, children can later transition to reading aloud without compromising their fluency or comprehension. The book also delves into the critical distinction between expression and self-expression, highlighting the detrimental effects of premature oral reading on a child's ability to develop their own authentic voice. The insights presented in this book challenge conventional teaching methods and empower educators to cultivate confident and capable readers with a lifelong love for literature.
