"Readiﬂg is probably the most discussed subject on our curricu- lum; and rightly so. We know that spelling is partly dependent on effective reading, that good meth ods oi study in geography, history, and otherjubjects are largely due lo correct types oi reading tech- niques. and that dliiicultles in working arithmetic problems ira- quentiy result from iaulty reading habits. Studies have shovm the most frequent cause oi school failure and failures in the primary arades to be almost wholly due to adlng. _-

The common causes of reading difiiculty are as follows: (1) iteatl~ lng difilcuity due to an organic defect such as injury to the brain either at birth or by disease, also defects o! the ears or eyes, or IPBech defects.

In such cases the family physic- ian or a specialist should be con- sulted. as well as modiﬁcation made in the reading material, such ss the use oi heavier and larger

organic conditions which are no! really defects; e. g. leit-handed- nessor ieit-eycdness or both. The left handed child sometimes iinds somewhat greater diiiiculty in ac- quiring the icft-to-right eye move- ments required ior reading than docs the right-handed pupil.

(3) Reading dliiicuity due lo d..- iiclent psychological process: e.g. Pupils unable to sustain attention. who are easily distracted, who are unable to persist in the lace oi difiiculty, etc.

(4) Constitutional immaturity _ that is when a child has a Mental Age (MAJ oi lees than six" years, this being determined by an in- dividual intelligence test.
