Abstract	Early in the 20th century, educators began looking for scientific methods for matching texts with readers. Some of the best minds in education dedicated themselves to this task, including Edward L. Thorndike, William S. Gray, Ralph Tyler, Edgar Dale, Irving Lorge, and Jeanne S. Chall. The purpose of this book is to bring students of reading into contact with this introductory sample of the original articles, methods, and thinking of these educators. The work contains ten reprints of articles with introductions by the author. There are also short introductions to four other books. The articles reprinted here (all in the public domain) are the following: "Word Knowledge in the Elementary School? by Edward L. Thorndike, published November, 1921, in Teachers College Record.
