It is essential that the citizen of today be well-informed about the world in which he lives, in order to share in its civilization and to contribute to it. Wide general reading is the only thing which can keep him so informed. It is, therefore, the imperative duty of teachers, especially in the secondary schools, to arouse in their students a desire to read. It is the peculiar responsibility of the English teachers to motivate, guide, and direct such reading. This paper will attempt to set forth the values to be derived from extensive reading, the objectives in a reading program, and some techniques and devices for the motivation and guidance of students' individual reading in high school. / "A Paper." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Griffith T. Pugh, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references.
