Description: From Chapter one - 1.1 Genesis: My interest in increasing the efficiency of children's silent reading began in 1958 when I was teaching a Standard 5A of 24 boys and 15 girls in a two-stream Primary School in Rhodesia. the majority of children were able readers and the mean Word Reading Age was 12.7 which, in relation to an average chronological age of 12.3, yeilded an above average Reading Quotient of 103. These children needed lots of reading practice, and in addition to the usual Reading periods I resolved to set aside at least one period a week for Comprehension, as reading for meaning was then called.
