Excerpt from The Reading Process

This book is not primarily a treatise on methods of teaching reading. It concerns itself rather with the principles which underlie method. Its chief aim is to furnish a body of information - psychological, philological, historical, and experimental - which will enable the teacher to develop and use methods intelligently in place of accepting them blindly and following them slavishly.

More than the usual amount of attention is given to language - both spoken and written, but especially the latter. For this the author makes no apology. There is - as is commonly known - no dearth of instruction in the vernacular and in foreign languages in our secondary and higher institutions of learning. In spite of this, however, the majority of those who specialize in languages - either English or foreign - are poorly informed regarding the genetic and scientific aspects of the English language and of language in general. This is due to the fact that the students' activities are for the most part directed toward the mastery of literature and the acquisition of skill in expression - philological aspects being neglected. For the teacher whose work lies chiefly in the field of language - including the teacher of reading - this is unfortunate since it deprives him of the perspective so essential to initiative and resourcefulness.
