Reading Reading us the moat important tool in aur civilization and the main objective in teaching it should be ta have the child under- stand what he la eeadihg. C. C. Pitt, East Yark achool psychoiog- ist, told the convention. Mr. Pitt spake on the need for "remedial reading" la public achoals and suggested how it might be carried out. It had been shown, he said, that a pupil need- ed ta be behiad only a manth la his reading ta have this refiect- ed in his other subjects. His own testa have reveaied it was pas- sible for grade 8 pupils ta be reading at as low as a grade 4 or 5 level. As a means o! ascertaining at what ievci a child is reading, Mr. Pitt outlined a number o! tests aimed at revealiag the child's specific wcakness. This might be la word recognition, speed, corn- prehension a! what he was read- ing, or inference. The moat Important factor la impeoving a child's rcading la sup- plying the praper reading mater- il, he continued, stressing that a book must 'be attractive in format andi matter ta the particular child. He urged that in remedial read- ing the child shouid be started at a very easy level sa he wiil un- derstand what he is reading. Me. Pitt went on ta point out that reading should be stressed throughout the grades and it waa hia opinion that the same readiag should flot be foilowed for al members o! the clasa., Ia conclusion he urged that tea- chers recagnize the "'plurality of factors" la the situation when a pupil was fouh'd ta be a poor reader.
