This paper reviews the current crisis in reading ability
decline in British primary schools and how modern
language teaching methods are remedying this crisis,
specifically the problems in exam and syllabus design. It
is suggested that the juxtaposition of phonic and
psycholinguistic methods in teaching reading are the root
of the continuing question of primacy of structure and
meaning. In addition, casual reading may not be a normal
pastime of modern students, they may be given
insufficient time for reading lessons, and they may not
be taught how to read in the first place. Texts used for
reading may not allow the full development of
comprehension skills. A more refined teaching approach to
reading is presented in which reading is based on the
type of reading that learners should be doing and when
and how, rather than organized around a multitude of
activities and exercises. The practical application of
reading in the modern languages classroom is discussed,
in particular, ways of reading and the content and form
of a modern languages program. (Contains 18 references.)
