Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it; but; it is a fact. The child's visual path- -ways are too underdeveloped to comprehend the written sym- bols with winch they might come in contact. ne wn at the moment is this: The earlier a child begins to read, the easier it is to develop good reeding ability. It 4s easier at five than six, easier ='at 'four than five, and so on. Our school systems advocate that children be taught f`o read at age six. It is safe to say -.that 95% of all children can be taught to read at age two; some, even as early as ten months. In the same way the mother relates the nursery rhyme about "This.,- little piggy ...", . using the seeing, hearing, feeling combinatioa, she' can 'teach her baby to read. As soon as the child is able to differentiate between two large written sym- bols, say "A & B," he can learn to read. Flash cards with large' `ibody. image" words printed in. bright block letters are used in these reading exposure methods. (Body -image words: toe, nose, hand, eye, etc.) Realizing the simplicity 'of the 'method, the explanation of the fantastic re- sults, is` lot se amazing.

Reading is the foundation of learning and understanding in —our educational system, Knovyledge is conveyed so often by the written word. In this fast-moving age, our society grows more complex each day; the transfer of know- ledge from one person -to an- other becomes 'more important. In an' age of mass communica- tion, reading ability is increas- ingly more important. Through skilful reading we can learn and understand. • The wealth ,Many of these "defects" can of new information that is gre- be altered or even eliminated; sented so rapidly often requires survey reading; an ability which lable aspects of the child's de- velopm^nt are present. A poor cultural or linguistic back- ground are influential; lack of interest and lack of motivation play an important part. Emo- tional problems can upset the progression of reading ability Just as much as disrupted schooling which occurs with families who move from one location to another. ,Finally, poor instruction, although sel- dom encountered these days, is certainly a matter for consider- ation.
