"Reading: How to Teach It" by Sarah Louise Arnold is an educational guide focused on methods for teaching reading effectively, written in the late 19th century. The book addresses the importance of not only teaching children how to read but also guiding them in understanding the purpose and value of reading throughout their lives. Drawing from her experiences as an educator, Arnold emphasizes cultivating a love for literature and meaningful engagement with texts. The opening of the book sets the tone for its instructional purpose by exploring the fundamental reasons why we read. Arnold argues that reading is not merely a practical skill but a gateway to knowledge, culture, and spiritual inspiration. She encourages teachers to recognize the intrinsic value of reading, from gaining practical information to accessing the long-cherished experiences and insights found in literature. By prompting readers to reflect on their motivations for reading, Arnold lays a foundation for discussing effective teaching strategies that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of reading in students.
