Abstract

There are two large values of wide experience gained through reading. The first is its contribution to the broad, well rounded development of the reader. If chosen wisely and properly, reading materials will extend the experiences of boys and girls, enlarge and correct their fund of information and stimulate their habits of good thinking. The second value gained through wide reading is that it contributes to the development of power to interpret effectively what is read. The fact is generally recognized that a reader of wide experience interprets what he reads far better than one of limited experience. If reading materials are selected with care, they supply boys and girls with wholesome attitudes and a rich fund of information which are essential in intelligent reading.
