    The Kinaesthetic Technique of Teaching Non-Readers: Its History and Psychology
    (University of Oregon, 1932-06) Clasey, E. Merl
    Reading is the most important subject in the elementary school curriculum. The mastery of it is essential. It is also the most troublesome of the subjects since pupils in the beginning fail in reading far more frequently than in any other elementary skill. The reading failures with which we are concerned in this study are the children of normal mentality who, after two or three years in school, have been unable to learn to read by the ordinary methods. Such cases are variously termed: non-readers, word-blind, dyslexia or visual aphasia. The difference, we believe, is one of degree and not of kind.
