Abstract

Our civilization depends in great measure on the reading process and there is a need for attaining greater skill in reading. Being able to read well has become one criteria for measuring the extent of a person's education. Every year seems to increase the reading demands made upon students as well as adults. Reading was one of the three R's that made up the curriculum of the early schools in our country. Reach (1955) states that in our society all children are not only privilaged, but most of them are required to spend many years in school, and the curriculum is so organized that it is absolutely essential that all students read intelligently and effectively if they are to succeed in academic work. In our modern civilization the major responsibility for teaching reading seems to have been given to the elementary schools. Programs with the aim to increase reading skills and ability have been carried on continually in these schools. Reading texts and professional book a have been published and revisions made almost; continuously to help with this task.
