Abstract

Silent Reading has been discussed very extensively by many of the best educators of the present day. Numerous investigations have been made so that we have quite an accurate knowledge of most of the vital things that are included in the process.

But a subject of so great importance and one which was wholly ignored until within a few decades, cannot be given too much consideration.

The reading in the primary grades should, to a great extent, be oral. However, a great deal of silent reading can be accomplished in the second grade.

Therefore, it is my purpose in writing this thesis to show to what extent the training in silent reading can be developed in this grade. I will also endeavor to indicate how power in the different processes of silent reading can be improved and how children, even in the second grade, can be taught proper habits of study.

It is also my purpose to show what provision can be made for individual differences.

The books and periodicals used in the preparation of the thesis constitute reliable and, authentic sources. The references read are, for the most part, from the most recent authors on the subject of reading.
