Abstract
In the discussion which follows in this paper the aim has been to show the relation between reading ability to effective study habits. To emphasize the fact that reading is not a separate curricular activity but is a tool by means of which subject matter in all fields is interpreted and experienced. Unfortunately the secondary school has not kept pace with the elementary school in using improved reading methods. All real educational progress of the individual implies the quickening of the student's powers of not merely responding to the stimulus applied by the external teacher, but of supplying stimulus of his own account.
