Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Practical Teacher, 1884-85, Vol. 8
Oral reading has three uses in teaching reading. First, the oral expression of thought (oral reading or talking) makes thinking (getting thought) a necessity. Second, the expression of thought is always compared by the thinker with the thought itself. Third, by oral reading the teacher can know whether the thought is in the pupil's mind, and just what defect, if any, there is in the pupil's thinking. Making oral expression the end and aim of reading lessons is a radical error; making it the means of thought evolution is the true purpose. The importance of this dis crimination cannot be exaggerated.
