Individual Needs Basis For New Reading Program
White Oak School, this
fall, has implemented a new
continuous progress reading
program. The need for this
type of instruction in
rewling was discovered last
winter and spring as the
faculty and administration
at the school underwent a
thoughtful analysis. In that
process, the development
and implementation of such
a reading program was
determined to be the top
priority instructional need
for the students enrolled at
White Oak School.
Project PEGASUS seeks
to accelerate students’
reading achievement by
operating a personalized,
process-oriented program of
continuous learning which
has been developed and
implemented in the city
schools of Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Operating the program
requires determining entry
in reading and
communicating skills,
diagnosing skills in which
instruction is needed,
grouping and sub-grouping
children according to
established needs,
instructing them on this
personalized basis, and
conducting formative
evaluation of specific skills.
A variety of approaches to
reading instruction are

The PEGASUS
curriculum structure
consists of specific reading
performance objectives
within each of 17 sequential
elementary leyels,
Kindergarten through
Junior High School.
Teachers determine
students’ entry levels ini
reading and communication
skills and diagnose the skills
in which instruction is
needed. Learners are.
grouped and sub-grouped
according to their
established needs, and one
to-one . instruction is
provided as needed
Teachers conduct formative
evaluation of specific skills
and use a graphic chart to
keep track of each students
mastery at a given level.
As a student masters the
particular group of skills
included in one level, he
progresses to another. At
level 4, for instance, a
student must be able to
demonstrate competence in
performing 30 objectives
which are organized in 3
skill areas: word analysis
(basic vocabulary, phonetic
analysis, structure analysis,
Word meaning and usuage);
comprehension (main idea,
details, sequence and
inference); and study skills
(following directions,
locating and organizing
information, and oral and
silent reading).
One of the most important
contributions of the
effectiveness of the
PEGASUS approach is the
development of a resource
file of Plans for Skill
Development Activities,
which are organized for the
rapid, average and slower
attaining student. Through
participating in a reading
program with a continuous
progress organization such
as PEGASUS, learners can
experience success, which is
so vital to the development
of a positive self-concept.
One performance objective
developed by a teacher to
build the students’
competence and proficiency
in mastering this skill
combines arts, geography,
history and local custom.
Following a class discussion
about the state of Hawaii,
students made leis by
pasting paper petals
together. Each petal has a
word printed on it, which the
children must arrange in
alphabetical order.
Teachers evaluate the
students’ degree of mastery
while they are performing
the task as well as during a
follow-up exercise requiring
them to determine the
correct alphabetical order
of a memographed list of
words.
The project recognizes
that learning is multi
dimensional, and places
more emphasis on the
progressive, continuous
building of reading skills
than on specific
instructional materials. For
this readon, the approach of
PEGASUS can be used with
any basic series or other
approach to reading
instruction. Personalized
interaction between student
and teacher is stressed;
classroom organization or
space requirements are not.
Project PEGASUS was
developed with assistance
from the United States
Government in the form of a
grant under the Elementary
and Secondary Education
Act, Title 111.
In adopting project
PEGASUS at White Oak,
Edenton-Chowan Schools
joined two other systems in
North Carolina who are also
implementing this program
this fall They are Caldwell
County and Gaston County.
Nationally, we are joining
such systems as Lamar
County, Alabama; Fayette
County, Alabama; Dallas
County Texas; Twiggs
County, Georgia; and other
systems in the states of
Kansas, Michigan, South
Carolina, and Washington.
Locally the
implementation of this
program is being directed
THE CHOWAN HERALD
and coordinated through the
efforts .of Don Lassiter,
director of instruction, John
Gqard, principal and
Carolina Banks and Helen
Mitchell, teachers at White
Oak School. These four have
all visited the site in
Alabama where the
program was developed.

Business Crime
More Lucrative
Than Business?
This year, crime against busi
ness may reap $23.6 billion,
according to Norris A. Lynch,
director of the consumer goods
and services division, U.S. De
partment of Commerce.
In a recent speech, he put
this figure in perspective by
pointing out that sales for the
three largest department store
retailers were $22 billion in
1974. “Crime,” he said, “makes
more money than Sears, Mont
gomery Ward and Penney’s
combined.”
Mr. Lypch added that the
$23.6 billion cost of business
crime, calculated on a per
capita basis, spread across the
U.S. adult population, would
come to $165 per person.

The board, in its meeting,
will consider the bids
