How to Increase Reading Ability. Sixth Edition.
Harris, Albert J.; Sipay, Edward R.
The sixth edition of this text incorporates research done in the five years since the fifth edition was published and contains new terminology, new concepts, new illustrations, and new materials. The four guiding principles (breadth of scope, maintenance of a balanced point of view, practicality, and clarity) remain. Chapter topics are reading ability and disability; readiness for reading; beginning reading instruction; mature reading; meeting individual needs in reading; efficient reading instruction in groups; reading disability, dyslexia, and learning disabilities; assessing reading performance; physical, physiological, cultural, and cognitive correlates of reading disability; basic principles of remedial reading; developing word identification skills; remedial procedures for deficiencies in word identification skills; improving reading comprehension; fostering reading interests and tastes; and increasing rate of reading.
