Although there were many variations
in teaching by the alphabet
method, the following is perhaps
typical. First the child memorized
the names of the letters an didentified
both the capital and the
small forms. Spelling and pronouncing
syllables of two letters
followed; next came syllables of
three letters; and finally monosyllablic
words were presented.
Larger units, including phrases,
sentences ,and stories were intro/riiced.
Pupils were also required
to memorize the Ten Commandments
and other Biblical materials.
Oral reading was stressed,
since literate members of Puritan
families read Scripture aloud
to relatives or friends.
The trend at present is to treat
reading as one asneet of a lan
guage arts program and to utilize
methods of teaching which are
consonant with this objective.
Above all else, meaningful reading
is accorded primary importance.
To be meaningful in the
fullest sense, reading materials
must not only be understood and
assimilated, but their content must
al&THse evaluated and interpreted. <
The pupil's reaction to the facts '
or ideas presented is viewed as
the most significant feature of his
reading. Thus, meaningful read- ,
ing stresses not only pupil's understanding
and clear comprehension
of different types of presentations,
but also his ability to
select, interpret, and apply facts
or ideas according to his purpose
for reading. This broader view
of the reading process necessitates
a distinct change and extension of
practices.
1. When I was in school, all the
laurels went to the child who
could read a paragraph through
without a mistake, even if the child
didn't have the least idea what ,
the paragraph was about. Are
things different now?
Yes, we consider that the good
reader is one who reads thoughtfully.
Notice, when you visit your
child's classroom, how the children
not only read the story, but
discuss it, draw inferences about
what happens next, consider why
the characters act as t Mfy do, recall
what went before, and think
how things might have turned out
differently. A child can't participate
in this knd of exchange of
ideas without knowing what he is
reading.
Through the work in the modern
readers and library books, a
child is given training in many
specific skills that promote his
ability to think as he reads. Some
of these are: understanding phrase
and sentence meanings; classifying
and generalizing; associating '
relevant ideas in text and pictures;
making inferences and drawing
conclusions; making judgments:
recalling or recognizing sequence;
recalling story facts; noting details;
locating information, following
directions. Other skills
are added from grade to grade; in
terpreting figurative language;
visualizing a scene from descriptive
details; indentifying time elements
in narration, and others.
?It is not enough for a child just
to say the words. We want him
to think about what he reads, to
react to it, to get ideas from it, and
to be stimulated to exchange ideas
with the other children in the
room.
