Reading Comprehension
Since early colonial times American people have shown a great concern for education. There were a very high proportion of educated men among the first ttlers. In the Massachutts colony in the early 1600s, there was an average of one university man to every 40 or 50 families—much higher than in England. Some of the men, many of whom graduated from Cambridge, came together and founded Harvard College in 1636, 140 years before American Independence. Before the Revolution in 1776, nine colleges had already been opened in the colonies, and most of them later became universities.
Within thirty years of the first ttlement in Massachutts, all towns were required to hire a schoolmaster at public expen. Other colonies also prepared for flee public schools. Throughout the 17th century, for instance, free schools had been established in a number of places. In 1787 the Continental Congress asked every new township to rerve one plot of land for public schools. By 1900, there were almost a thousand institut
ions of higher education in the U.S. Among them were law and medical schools and hundreds of small, four-year liberal art colleges. One of the latter, Oberlin College, which was founded in 1837 in Ohio, was the first to admit women on an equal basis with men.
车间文化 Today, about 43 million pupils and students attend public elementary and condary schools, which do not charge tuition but rely on local and state taxes for funding. And another 6 million attend private schools, for which their parents pay tuition. Four out of five private schools are run by religious groups, where religious instruction is part of the curriculum. There are also a small but growing number of parents who educate their children themlves at home, a practice known as home schooling. Every year, about 12 million Americans are enrolled in the over 3,000 colleges and universities of every type. Nearly 80 percent of the college students attend public institutions, while a little over 20 percent are enrolled in privately supported universities and colleges. The early emphasis given to education remains today. United Nations figures 1 show that in the amount spent on education per capita, the U.S. is in the ninth place in the world.

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themlves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
Teaching and learning are two entirely different process. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devi the most efficient system for teaching themlves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be en and obrved.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make n of the word of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (追求) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
