Abstract
A Roman named Tacitus once said: "In all things there is a kind of law of cycles." This statement has meaning for the field of reading instruction; for there is, at the present time, evidence to indicate that reading instruction may complete a cycle in the future. In the colonial times reading instruction was individualized. Today the most widely discussed trend in the teaching of reading is individualized reading. The individualized instruction of today, however, is qualitatively different from that of colonial times.
