Excerpt from Reading and Study: More Effective Study Through Better Reading Habits
Nevertheless, in spite Of the close association of the terms in common speech and the presence of reading as an activity in study, the two terms are not synony mous in meaning. There are reading activities which are not study and study activities which are not read ing; but there are Obvious close relationships which are seen even by the casual Observer. He knows that when a child is attempting to master a textbook les son, the activity is reading and at the same time study. He also realizes that without the ability to read, such study as is done with books in this manner is impos sible. It is natural to conclude, then, that teaching a child to master the mechanics Of the printed page is in effect teaching him how to study. In a limited sense, this is true. But there are many activities in study that are not reading in this sense. Stsly and reading pfited out. Teaching the child to read, unless reading is fully understood in its broader meaning, seldom teaches him how to study effectively. The ability merely to pronounce the words on the printed page, while very essential, is only the preliminary prepara tion for study in its broader sense.
