[Review of the book The Supplementary Reading Assignment

Abstract

Reviews the book, The Supplementary Reading Assignment by Carter V. Good (see record 1928-00236-000 ). This book describes a series of tests designed to evaluate two methods of studying certain school subjects. The method of experiment employed was the familiar parallel-group method. In the investigation one group read textbook assignments only, the other, both the textbook and certain supplementary readings. These results indicate, according to the author, that the character and length of reading assignments must vary with the purpose of the reading. A logical summary is that both textbook and supplementary reading assignments are in general best for the learner. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
