A child learns to walk by practicing until he doesn’ t have to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Scientists call it “automaticity (自動性 )”. A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles lessand less, reading more and more freely. With automaticity, he doesn’t need to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention (注意力 ) to the meaning of the whole text. It can begin as early as the first grade. In a recent study of children in some American schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams. According to Rossman, the reading time is the key to automaticity of a child, not his IQ. If a child spends at least to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers, 8 he will probably (可能 ) reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off the TV just one night for reading at home. You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you can read aloud with expression (表情 ), with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice. 51. “ Reading is the key to school success” means that reading _________.
