Improving Reading In Every Class. Abridged Edition.
Thomas, Ellen Lamar; Robinson, H. Alan
This book suggests procedures not only for teaching the fundamental processes in reading but also for teaching reading in high school subject areas. Four chapters present methods for teaching vocabulary, comprehension, rate, and problem solving. Nine chapters are devoted to practical classroom methods for teaching mathematics, science, industrial arts, typewriting and business education, home economics, music, library services, fine arts, and physical education. Motivating activities, teaching procedures, and practice exercises are provided. Also presented are examples of lessons, interviews on how to teach reading, directions to students, warnings in regard to "do's and don'ts," tests of different reading abilities, check lists, guide sheets, and practice work sheets.
