A Directed Reading Procedure for Mathematics
Walter J. Lamberg and Charles E. Lamb
Educators have been exam1n1ng the relationships between reading and mathematics for several years. Evidence clearly supports the idea that there exists an important connection between the two. A student’s success in mathematics learning seems to depend heavily upon his proficiency as a reader; a student having problems in the mathematics classroom may be having difficulties with reading skills, especially those pertaining to mathematics (Leary, 1948; Call and Wiggin, 1966; Lerch, 1967; Aiken, 1972).
