18.Reading is the key to school success like any other skill,and it needs practicing.A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly,correctly and without thinking.Educators call it"automaticity".
With automaticity,a child doesn't have to think about the meaning of every word when he reads.So he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as the first grade.In a recent study of children,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade read much faster than the others,and they got better grades in exams.
According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.If a child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers,he will probably reach automaticity.It can happen if a child doesn't watch TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with a sense of the meaning of the sentences,you probably are an automatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time,without expression or meaning,you need more practice.
