Abstract
During recent years much interest has been shown in the improvement of silent reading, while problems of oral reading instruction have either been entirely discarded as unimportant, or neglected. In general but little good seems to have been derived from oral reading as taught. The purpose of this dissertation is to present a method which has been used to improve oral reading in two schools. It is a method which not only tends to improve the quality of oral reading, but to produce a situation whereby development of the powers of learning may be facilitated through greater activity and interest on the part of the pupil and improved opportunity and freedom in the choice of material. It also aids character development.
