| Sumario: | This article reports on representative studies on general reading status of schools in the U.S. The studies were organized by the following topics: adult populations, developmental programs, improvement programs, word meaning, word recognition, comprehension, and materials. The study of Miles A. Tinker showed that the use of italics or all capital letters caused a lower speed of reading than the use of Roman print. Sex differences played a major role in reading comprehension. Reports on the success of individualized reading programs were presented.
