Book Description

Reading research studies from 1950 to 1969 were selected for inclusion in this bibliography from ERIC/CRIER's data base which contains materials from published journal literature, dissertations, USOE sponsored research, and International Reading Association conference proceedings. Since this bibliography is designed to serve the needs of the researcher, the student, and the practitioner, it is appropriately divided into three categories: methodology, summaries, and applications. The methodology section includes studies of the reading research community as well as of research techniques and designs. The latter items relate both to general approaches and to designs and techniques for specific reading research problems. The summary section includes periodic reviews of reading research. These include the Gray Annual Summary, summaries of research on particular topics, such as research on visual problems in reading, summaries of doctoral research in reading, and summaries of investigations in one aspect of reading, such as secondary reading and college reading. The application section consists of items that interpret and apply research findings to particular problems of reading instruction. An author's guide, ordering information through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service and University Microfilms and listings of ERIC/CRIER and IRA publications are appended.
