Abstract

Although children entering the fourth grade are often expected to have mastered all reading difficulties, and to possess good study habits, this is frequently not the case. Continued oral reading has developed slow and relatively incompetent readers. The fourth grade teacher must, therefore, by means of diagnostic or informal tests determine to what extent her pupils are prepared for the work that is to be accomplished in the intermediate grades. It is the purpose of this thesis to show what fundamental reading alms and objectives are necessary for effective work in this period and how the writer has attempted to accomplish some of them.
