Abstract

The increased complexity of life in a disturbed world has given impetus to new pedagogical theories and methods, especially in the field of reading. Today, as never before, educators recognize their responsibility to teach young people to read criti­cally in order to prepare them for competent citi­zenship in a world in which many controversial prob­lems must be solved. Teachers seek new approaches to reading improvement, for they understand that read­ing plays an important role in promoting the growth of the child as a whole, in forming "better men for better times." Educators are working very hard in organizing and planning developmental reading pro­ grams, now commonly called "life adjustment programs" which tend to give the individual many opportunities for developing to maximum capacity his spiritual, physical, social, and moral potentialities.
