John Guard, principal at White Oak School, state that be and his staff were very pleased with the results which were shown at White Oak. “Cost tests for both the benefit classes and the comparison classes exceeded the national average”, he added. In addition, “the benefit classes showed, a more significant gain as a result . of the teacher and additional allotted aides having had the opportunity to receive special inservice training and funds for special reading materials.” White Oak will be participating in the state’s Primary Reading Program again this year. According to State Supt. A. Craig Phillips, these results can prove to be of significant benefit to primary grade children in Edenton-Chowan Schools because they “show us where to allocate our state resources to best assure that every child in North Carolina learns to read.” The Primary Reading Program was established in 1975 to identify more ef fective means of teaching reading to children in grades one through three, said Phillips. The initial appropriation of $750,000 provided resources to fund 117 primary grade classes. Each of the 117 classes in 40 schools throughout the state were provided money for a teacher aide, inservice training for the classroom teacher and aide, supplies and materials, com prehensive testing, and extra consulting services. Teachers were encouraged to use adult volunteers in the program, said Phillips, THE CHOWAN HERALD although no money was provided for that phase of the program. Through a carefully controlled evaluation, the money put into the first year’s operation of the Primary Reading Program has been proven to he ef fective in raising reading achievement of children in grades one through three, Phillips noted. Hie 1975 General Assembly ap propriated $2,000,000 for the second year of the program. This makes* possible the funding of an additional 188 primary classes during the 1976-77 school year. Phillips em phasized that reading achievement of students participating in the second year of the program will also be carefully monitored. The evaluation proves that providing teachers additional resources to teach reading in grades one through three can make a difference in reading achievement of children, said Phillips. . Every bride wants to be a vision to remember on her wedding day. Dr. Lichtman, leading Philadelphia optome trist says: “For those who can wear them, soft contact lenses correct many common visual problems and are vir tually invisible when worn, giving the eyes a natural appearance.” From the first sound of the wedding march to the last flash of the cam eras and the tossing of rice, you go through the day with ease. Initiative is a combination of brains and energy but blah blah and bustle can sometimes fool people. Everyone is a coward, about some things, and justly so.
