During the early to mid-1900s, what type of reading was emphasized in literacy instruction?

What will be an ideal response?


William S. Gray influenced reading instruction during the early part of the 1900s. He emphasized silent reading because that is the form of reading that people use most often in their lives. This was a major shift from oral reading performance that had dominated reading instruction for decades. He also developed the first basal reading program—the Dick and Jane series—which emphasized whole words.
