Book Description
This bulletin is the first in a series of summaries of research conducted in reading from 1955 to 1960. The publication includes both published and unpublished research during the 5-year period. The published research has been compiled largely from studies reported in educational periodicals. The unpublished research was made available through a survey conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Office of Education, with the cooperation of colleges, universities, and public school systems, which furnished information on studies undertaken in the various educational institutions. Chapter I, Summary of Research in the Teaching of Primary Reading, provides an overview of the studies reported in this bulletin: (1) Reading Readiness; (2) Age of Beginning Reading; (3) Methods of Teaching Reading; (4) Grouping for Reading Instruction; (5) Reading Achievement; (6) Reading Programs; (7) Reading Interests; (8) Reading Materials; (9) Comprehension; (10) Vocabulary; (11) Word Recognition; (12) Reading and Language Arts; (13) Reading and Intelligence; (14) Auditory Factors; (15) Reading and Physical Growth; (16) Reversals; (17) Kindergarten Attendance; (18) Language; and (19) Causes of Reading Difficulties. Chapter ii, Studies in the Teaching of Primary Reading, describes the purpose of each of the studies, and the findings, results, or conclusion. An appendix provides the "Report of Research in Reading" Form. (Contains 114 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Measuring Reading Competence
Author: S. SchwartzPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media

Book Description
This book concerns measuring reading skills. It is not meant to be a compre hensive survey of reading research or a review of all possible approaches to reading measurement (although considerable attention is given to both subjects). Instead, the purpose of this book is to present a coherent, theoretically based approach to measuring reading competence. The ability to measure a phenomenon is an important prerequisite for scientific analysis. As Lord Kelvin said, "One's knowledge of science begins when he can measure what he is speaking about and express it in numbers." Unfortunately, not just any numbers will do. Presently available reading tests provide their users with a plethora of numbers-age levels, percentiles, grade equivalents-but their scientific value is questionable. The problem is that there is more to scientific measurement than merely assigning numbers to arbitrarily chosen behaviors. Scientific measurement occurs only within the confines of a theory, and most reading tests are atheoretical. Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth in reading research.
