Review of Remedial Cases in Reading: Their Diagnosis and Treatment

Abstract

Reviews the book, Remedial Cases in Reading: Their Diagnosis and Treatment by William Schoot Gray (see record 1922-10292-000 ). The content of this monograph is well described by its title. It promises to be a very suggestive and helpful volume for superintendents, principals, supervisors, and teachers--whether regular or special. In these days of frequent measurements of all kinds there is sometimes a tendency to make hasty diagnosis. This monograph shows the need for very careful and definite study of each case before final diagnosis is made; it gives detailed information as to existing defects in each case, and describes the procedure which was followed in the attempt to remedy each defect. The author holds that diagnosis of one's reading defects is insufficient evidence upon which to base treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
