Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Method for Teaching Primary Reading There are habits of reading that the pupils should form in the Primary Grades. The most important at the outset are: The habit of looking to a word, phrase, or sen tence for its meaning. The habit of attacking a word with the as surance that, through knowledge of the sounds of letters and combinations of letters, the pupils can find out what it says. The one habit deals with the thought and the other with the form, but they must go hand in hand. To establish the child in these habits is the Primary Teacher's problem in Reading.
