During the past decade research in reading has proliferated. An awareness of the complexity of the problems involved in the teaching of reading has resulted in a tremendous growth in the size of projects through the United States Office of Education, and in greater participation of several disciplines in individual projects, and by the emergence of such new sciences as psycho-linguistics and socio-linguistics. From fiscal year 1957 through 1968, the U. S. Office of Education's Bureau of Research has supported almost 200 reading research projects, for which over ten million dollars have been obligated.

Now in its third year, the Kalamazoo County Reading Therapists Organization is meeting four times during the current school year. The members of the group are full-time reading teachers, most of whom are involved in federally funded reading programs or teach under the state reimbursable programs. The organization, which now has members from all of the school districts in the county, was formed as a vehicle for the sharing of ideas and methods and the discussion of current issues of interest to remedial reading teachers. The organization has been enthusiastically accepted and supported by the county reading therapists.

Progress in reading instruction depends to a great extent on perception and cognition. Perception depends upon the performance of sensory organs, quality of the circumstances attendant to the act of perception and the attitudes and predisposition of the perceiver which affect the quality of his perceptual performance.

Good examples are the comparisons he is fond of drawing between English and other languages. He tells us, for instance, that Modern Persian "has done away with articles," and admires that as "exactly the same simplification [that] is being used today by our headline writers." Now of course the telegraphic style of newspaper headlines serves its purpose well …
