Thursday, J&n. 5, 1950 Your Child An By Miss Lu There have been many changes ! in methods of instruction. For instance the alphabet method was 1 the first approach used in this ] country to teach boys and girls to 1 read. In fact, historians indicate that this method was predominant ; in America until the last quarter! of the nineteenth century. Samuel j Worcester in 1828, appears to have ; been the first American author to suggest the adoption of the word! ^Method." But it, was hot until ; aboutt 1850 that this approach was| < popularized through the wide- , spread use of a series of readers by Bumstead and Webb. Despite the general acceptance of the word "Method," protests were numerous. Parents became disturbed when they discovered that children did not know the names of the letters in words they ^ could pronounce. Then came the phonetic system which also had its limitations and needed supplementing. During the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first two decades of the twentieth j century, the word "Method" was gradually replaced in many schools by phrase, sentence, and story approaches to reading. The trend at present is to treat, leading as one aspect of a lan guage arts program and to utilize methods of teaching that are consonant with this objective. Above all else, meaningful reading is accorded primary importance. The pupil's reaction to facts or ideas presented is viewed as the most significant feature of his reading. Thus, the meaningful reading stresses not only the 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 I SYLVA DRIVE-IN | I!

How do children ever learn' to read without learning their1 letters or phonetics first? Learning to read today is planned as an interesting, stimulating and satisfying experience. We try to make reading full of meaning for the children right from the start. The children's interest is stimulated because there is always something to think about. Amusing stories about children like themselves whet their desire to push on and find out what hnnnana novt Wa think" that this method of reading for meaning is much superior to the old way of putting all the emphasis, in thej first days, on the mechanics of! reading. When children have begun to get the feeling of what it means to read ... as one child put it, that reading is first "talk written down", we direct their attention j to letters in words with which! they have become familiar. We1 call the letters by name and build up an awareness of their sounds. Later we make sure that each child knows the alphabet in order. But we do not weigh him down j with these things before he even gets into the swing of reading. j 2. If the children do not sound out the words at first, how do they, know what they are? j The teacher introduces the chil- | dren to each new word in a mean ingful way. For instance, when' she is introducing the word jump and what the kitten is doing, the teacher will show them a wordi card on which the word jump is' printed. Or she will print it onj the aboard and have the children read it. They will find the same, word in their books . . . and will see it many times in later stories,! games and exercises, until the' thoroughly familiar to them. Butj U ?* 1.1' it idii L juai a uuiiiuiuauvu ui letters. It is a symbol that really i means something to them. j In each reading lesson the teach- j er will present other words?a few at a time?the way she presented jump. The children will meet these words again and again in stories, blackboard drills and workbook exercises. In his first year of reading a child will learn to recognize around 300 words at sight. By the end of the third grade, his stock of sight words will have grown to around 2000. These sight words will be his working capital in learning to get new words for himself. Sylva Lions Club Hears Displaced M. D. Speak On last Wednesday evening the Sylva Lions Club, meeting for dinner at Jarrett Springs Hotel, V"i o <-} a cnApiol mioei TV* 7nltnn **?U ? Q MVW % AT* MW* Agardy, of Hungary, who was guest speaker. Dr. Agardy, a displaced person who is in this country under the sponsorship of Dr. Grover Wilkes, with at whom he is at present associated, entered this country only two weeks ago. He spoke briefly and most interestingly on the political situation in his native Hungary, a buffer country about the size of our state of Indiana, located, disasterously as it turned out, directly between German and Russian objectives. Asked about his reaction to American food, Dr. Agardy laughed and stated that he enjoyed it immensely, but was cautious of eating many dishes, with which he was unfamiliar, for the first time. He said that potatoes were the staple diet of his country and in Germany, where he spent the last four years. Often they ate potatoes with potatoes, he staled.
