I think that is the problem that he is having.  He already has multiple
words per line, and needs to read them from the file as _lines_ and not
_words_.  Try this....

<a file called 'list' has the lines of text that you want to read>


#!/bin/sh

cat list | while read line
do
        echo $line
done


That should take care of it.
