Abstract:
A method of teaching reading, and a prerecorded tape or like unit for use therein are described. A student scans the printed words in a book while the words are simultaneously being audibly reproduced by a magnetic tape and heard by the student while he scans said words. The recorded material on said magnetic tape has a plurality of predetermined spaced audible signals which serve as an indication that he is to follow written or oral instructions which had been given at the start of the session and/or at the end of each of a plurality of the predetermined audible reproductions of words in said book. The audible signals are followed by audible instructions to the student to perform certain acts, which may be the same or different, and reflected by a written word or written statement by the student and responsive to said audible instructions. The student is provided with means for writing said word or written statement within given predetermined time periods after each of said plurality of audible instructions has been heard by said student.
