 "As the world progresses and as technology makes obsolete many of the basic skills that were earlier deemed essential, reading remains paramount...reading skill is the foundation for almost all later learning and since, in the last analysis, reading is thinking. To learn to read is the most important task for the young child starting school and to fail at this task is a serious matter."
