Abstract
Numerous students, although they have acquired satisfactory reading habits, are unable to learn much from the assignments because of their inability to understand the material. This situation occurs when the reading material is remote or too difficult. Other factors include intelligence, meaning vocabulary, sentence structure, the fund of previous experience, and the educational development level of the pupil. The improving of a student's reading ability in its broadest sense may imply improving his level of educational development.
