Reading Lab Helps You Recall What You Read
Can you remember important facts from textbook material a couple of weeks after you read the text?
If you have trouble recalling what you read or if you have trouble studying it might be a good idea to look into the University's Reading laboratory.
Ninety-nine per cent of the students who completed reading classes during the school year 1950-51 stated that they would advise fellow students to take the course.
The Reading lab offers classes in study methods, reading comprehension, and speed improvement. There are no outside assignments and no fees to pay.
"About 500 students registered for the program last school year." Dr. Henry P. Smith, director of the Reading laboratory said today. Of those completing the program 71 per cent stated that the program gave "considerable value" and 12 per cent said they "profited very much" from the lab courses.
Seventy per cent thought their grades would be improved "slightly"
because of their reading improvement. The tabulations are based on student opinions after completing classes in study methods, reading comprehension, and speed improvement.
Dr. Smith urges students to enroll as soon as possible for Reading laboratory courses.
Comprehension sections lasting for six weeks and meeting three times a week will begin on Monday, September 24, and Monday, October 1. Special classes in study methods will be offered for those who want help in improving their study techniques. These classes will meet twice a week for six weeks. They begin on Tuesday, September 18, and Tuesday, September 25.
Later in the semester individual laboratory work will be offered and a special group of classes designed to increase reading speed will be organized.
No credit is given for the Reading laboratory courses.
instructors directing the classes will be Robert T. Gray, Fritz W.
Forbes, Marion Rioth, and James W. Townsend, graduate students in the School of Education.
The Reading laboratory office in room 18 Fraser hall will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. from September 17 to 21 and from 3 to 5 p.m. thereafter for further information and enrollment.
