Excerpt from Journal of Educational Psychology, 1921, Vol. 6
Essential Elements in Reading - Adequate measurements of any complex mental functions, such as those involved in school studies, require first of all an analysis of the functions into their essential constituents, and, second, the preparation of accurate tests for each of these elements. From the prao tical point of View, We learn to read in order to obtain informa tion. Obviously, then, the chief elements in reading are (1) the comprehension of the material read, (2) the speed of reading, and (3) the correctness of the pronunciation. The first two are the most important so far as reading strictly is concerned, since we learn to read for our own individual use. For this reason, such factors as intonation, expression, pauses and the like are relatively insignificant. We use Silent rather than oral reading in practical life.
Methods of Testing - The Speed of reading may be measured rather easily by determining the amount of a certain kind of text that can be read in a given period of time, for example, the number of words read per minute, or preferably per second. Comprehension perhaps cannot be determined quite so easily. In the tests to be described presently the method adopted con sists in reproducing the thought in writing immediately after the reading.
