Originally published by Macmillan in 1971, this reading instruction text is centered around the Power Construct, a system developed to enable students to fully comprehend the meaning on the printed page in a methodical, step-by-step manner. Working independently, at his own pace, the student is led to discover both the relative importance of one sentence in relationship to another and the interrelationship of ideas within the paragraph, selection, or article. Annotations in the margins guide the reader as he makes these discoveries, and, at the end of each chapter, a re-cap section is provided so that the student may review and measure his progress.
