      ab: The article outlines a developmental program for teaching children to use books skillfully and efficiently. Primary grades children should gain attitudes such as a liking for books, an interest in using them as a source of enjoyment and stimulation, and a feeling of respect for them. In addition, primary children should gain rudimentary locational skills in using books. As pupils progress through the higher grades, attitudes and purposes should deepen and expand. For instance, the teacher must help the child to read with an objective attitude and an open mind as he explores all sides of a controversial subject and to become alert to any bias or misinformation that stands in the way of coming to correct conclusions. Locational skills continue to be important in the higher grades. If pupils are to be proficient in using the dictionary, encyclopedia, atlas and other reference books, they must learn many skills such as locating by alphabetical arrangement; determining correct pronunciation; selecting the appropriate meaning and determining the part of speech or the derivation of selected words. However, reading selections in a reader does not prepare a child to do the kind of thinking he must do when reading explanations and problems in an arithmetic textbook, historical accounts of the facts of history, or the exposition of health facts.
