Spurred by the enormous volume of recent reading research, the eighth edition of HOW TO INCREASE READING ABILITY represents the most comprehensive revision in a 45-year history that spans 7 previous editions and 40 printings. Almost every chapter in the eighth edition of this classic text has been reorganized and rewritten to eliminate the inevitable redundancy that creeps into frequently revised texts. This streamlining process has permitted the authors to be more comprehensive than ever before in their content coverage. All previously covered topics have been updated and all new topics have been clearly explained.
