In mastering this level, one learns the rudiments of the art of reading , receives basic training in reading, and acquires initial reading skills … As one masters this level one passes from nonliteracy to at least beginning literacy. He has mastered the first level of reading, that is all; he can read on his own and is prepared to learn more about reading.
But he does not yet know how to read beyond the elementary level … Only when he has mastered all of the four stages of elementary reading is the child prepared to move on to the higher levels of reading. Only then can he read independently and learn on his own.
Only then can he begin to become a really good reader. Inspectional reading is the art of skimming systematically … Another way to describe this level of reading is to say that its aim is to get the most out of a book within a given time—usually a relatively short time , and always by definition too short a time to get out of the book everything that can be gotten.
The first thing to realize is that there are two types of inspectional reading. They are aspects of a single skill, but the beginning reader is well-advised to consider them as two different steps or activities. The experienced reader learns to perform both steps simultaneously, but for the moment we will treat them as if they were quite distinct … The two steps involved in inspectional reading are both taken rapidly.
The competent inspectional reader will accomplish them both quickly, no matter how long or difficult the book he is trying to read. The third level of reading we will call analytical reading. It is both a more complex and a more systematic activity than either of the two levels of reading discussed so far … The art of analytical reading applies to the reading of a single book , when understanding of that book is the aim in view.
Of these last four below, the first three are criteria for disagreement. Failing in all of these, you must agree, at least in part, although you may suspend judgment on the whole, in the light of the last point. Metaphysics and Epistemology. Political Philosophy. Equality and Inequality. Philosophy of Religion. On The Great Books. On Reading. Practical Advice. Capsule Comment. Mortimer J. Adler on. Adler on Salesmanship.
The Ideas of Work and Leisure. Three years after writing the wonderfully expanded third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren did a series of thirteen minute videos about the very essence of the book. The videos were produced and published by Encyclopaedia Britannica.
For unknown reasons sometime after their original publication, these videos have been lost all these years. The DVD includes all thirteen minute programs for a total of three hours of video. Each section includes Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren in a lively, candid discussion of the art of reading and why it is so important and demonstrating its use in their own reading.

This distortion provokes the scandal of denying any truth in either claim, as too many find a third and worst path, that of apathy — why worry about truth if there are such vile arguments over it?
