The purpose of this paper is to introduce a systematic teaching approach known as the General Teaching Model for instructing college students in reading. The model consists of identifying appropriate objectives for the student, pre-assessment prior to beginning instruction, instructional procedures designed to help the learner achieve the objectives, and evaluation. Examples of instructional objectives for reading and an example of individualizing reading using Computer Assisted Instruction as a special case of the more general teaching model are presented.
