Albert J. Harris

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

For many years, study skills experts have been advising that it is desirable to turn headings into questions and then to focus on the facts and ideas that provide answers to the questions. I am going to follow this advice: in talking about key factors in a successful reading program, I will really consider key questions which can guide us in evaluating a reading program and deciding whether or not everything is being done that can make a reading program effective. How many key questions there are is somewhat arbitrary, but I shall attempt to consider ten.
