Title
On the Teaching of Reading in the Protestant Schools of Quebec: 1890-1960
Abstract
The author examined the trends in primary reading materials, used in the Protestant schools of Quebec between 1890 and 1960, with respect to vocabulary, readability, the uses of illustration, and the nature of the literary content. The author set out to determine to what extent the materials were suited to the pupils who used them, and how the reading texts in use at any given time reflected the research in the field of reading materials at that time. A second aim of the author was to examine the changes that had occurred in the methods of teaching reading, and the extent to which the methods used in Quebec had followed trends in the United States.
