Examination of the literature in the field of reading shows that there has been an immense number of investigations of the reading ability of elementary school children. Considerable study has also been made of the reading ability of high school pupils. More recently, investigations in the field of college reading have received increased attention. For the most part, studies dealing with reading at the college level reflect the rapid interest in corrective reading and remedial teaching. Many of the investigations listed by Gray are based on data other than those revealed by reading tests. In fact, according to Gray, only a limited number of studies relating to reading tests was reported between July 1, 1952 and June 20, 1953. It thus appears that there is need for more careful analysis of the reading abilities and problems of college students, particularly as revealed by reliable test data. Even more limited than general studies dealing with reading at the college level is the number of investigations reported on the reading abilities and problems of Negro college students. There is need, therefore, for more adequate data on the reading performance of students enrolled in colleges for Negroes if valid attempts are to be made to institute programs designed to improve instruction and eliminate student failures through the organization of remedial reading classes and clinics. The present study was initiated to contribute toward the realization of these and other objectives. More specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions
Linguistics · Mathematics education · Pedagogy · Reading (process) · African Education and Politics · Philosophy · Psychology · School Choice and Performance
